SpaceX went public in June at $1.77 trillion, OpenAI and Anthropic are next in line, and together the three are worth more than every tech IPO in America since 1980 combined.

Companies used to go public to start growing. Now they go public once they’re done growing.

In this video, I’ll break down:
• How 3 companies are worth more than 45 years of tech IPOs combined.
• Why the main reasons companies used to go public stopped working.
• How a law meant to help young companies go public backfired.
• How private markets quietly replaced public markets.
• Why companies go public in the first place, and why so few still do.

My wife and I used the values, principles, and even practices of XP to become financially independent on 1 April 2008. That means that for the past five years, our finances have not got in the way of doing the work that we love to do. I’ll tell you the story of how we reached this point. I’ll teach you a few simple activities that you can use to start yourself on the path to more financial freedom. I’ll share how we applied various Lean/Agile principles to achieve these goals for ourselves.
