On Tuesday, Bloomberg reported this week was shaping up to be the busiest in IPO offerings since 2021. Given these developments in capital markets, conversations like the one hosted by the Rocky Mountain Venture Capital Association are critically important. Thanks to the panelists Brian Birk, Cullen Lee, Courtney Tygesson and John Uczekaj, and to Arena's Jason Golz, CFA, for moderating.
Going public is one of the highest-profile milestones in a company’s corporate life. Last week, I had the honor of moderating an IPO readiness panel at the Rocky Mountain Venture Capital Association's annual Ski Doggle with 80 venture investors from the mountain states. With all of the key IPO players represented on our panel, we covered the A to Z of the transition—from crafting the investment narrative and roadshow readiness to the boundaries of the modern quiet period. We even discussed common pitfalls of the first earnings announcement. Many thanks to my fellow panelists and to the RMVC, including: Brian Birk – Sun Mountain Capital Courtney Tygesson – Cooley LLP Cullen Lee – Stifel John Uczekaj – The AIRO Group If your company is planning an IPO in 2026, please check out Arena's IPO Rules of the Road: https://lnkd.in/gRQBm-4s #RMVCA #IPO
