Blueshirt’s latest IPO survey, featuring insights from over 60 institutional investors, highlights a strong appetite for IPOs and a bias for growth over profitability. Alex Wellins, co-founder and managing partner at Blueshirt, discussed these findings in a recent article on the Bloomberg terminal by Bailey Lipschultz, noting, "In internet and software, there are very few public companies guiding to above 25% to 30% growth. The only way to reinvigorate growth in the public markets is through IPOs." Key survey highlights include: - 99% of respondents eagerly anticipate the return of IPOs, up from 96% last year. - 70% prioritize growth, with 60% expecting profitability by 2026. - 87% have maintained or increased their capital allocation for IPOs compared to 2020-2021. - 86% express interest in small and mid-cap IPOs, with specific criteria for revenue, market cap, and public float thresholds. Blueshirt has been actively involved in five tech IPOs so far this year, providing real-time insights that underscore robust investor interest, even for smaller IPOs. For a deeper dive into our survey results and expert guidance on navigating the upcoming IPO landscape, reach out to Blueshirt. We’re committed to helping companies differentiate themselves in what promises to be a competitive IPO market next year. #IPO #Tech #Investment #Survey #Growth #CapitalMarkets #Blueshirt

The Blueshirt Group reposted this
Yesterday I participated on a panel titled "Accessing the Public Markets" along with Christopher Weekes and Tengbo Li at the TD Securities' Private Technology Growth Summit. This was a lively and timely discussion given the recent wave of tech IPOs (many are Blueshirt clients). Topics included best practices for companies considering an IPO in the next 18 months, the investor perspective on scale required to access the public markets and structural differences between the current cohort of IPOs versus the three tech IPOs last fall. Thanks to the TD Securities team for hosting a great event and including me. #ipo
