Before the Opening Bell

The New Front End of Market Opportunity
Over the next 12–24 months, markets are likely to be shaped by a new wave of high-profile IPOs. Companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, and Stripe have already captured the attention of both institutional investors and the broader public. When these businesses eventually come to market, they will be framed as rare opportunities to gain exposure to category-defining platforms at scale.
But by then, it’s too late. Most of the value creation has already occurred while these companies were private.

- Where is your portfolio capturing growth today?
- How much value are you missing pre-IPO?
- Are you accessing growth before it scales?
