  1. IPO "ipso facto" Signals the company and its services is going big- the covid shutdown and Ukraine conflict caused market shrinkage, so of what use is corporate ambitions. This is what is playing on the investor's mind

  2. IPOs were great when money was cheap and you could bet money on a company that honestly never made any money and couldn’t prove they could make any money. It was like a casino betting who would make it big.

  3. It doesn't take to be an expert. No money is being printed, interest rates are rising, and everyone is talking about recession. So there is simply no dumb money to spend on IPO or other shares. Everyone is cautious.

  4. Does WSJ deliberately choose guests with irritating speech patterns often unqualified? The last one sounded like a high schooler. In another video they chose a kid to provide business insights on a multi-billion dollar firm. This one sounds like a valley girl. Where is the professionalism and credibility WSJ??

  5. its all about crypto and nfts now,thats where the trillions are flowing to…..even the millennials have given up………the gen z are no longer interested in the real world or building real companies with real value….real revenues and real products and real services and real substance grounded in reality

    only crypto pump and dumps, ponzi schemes of delusion and insanity and nfts whose value is based solely on how much social media hype it can garner at the moment,bubbles that bust as quickly as it booms……..in the words of jamiroqual in the 90s….."futures…..made of…..virtual insanity,always…seems to be….governed by our….love of useless twisting new technology….there is no sound…..for we all live underground"

  6. Start investing into passionate, logical, innovative young founders, without focusing on their gender or ethnicity as a reason to Invest.

    Idea stage founders need big investors to mentor them.

    The U.S. economy was built in small business.
