Why Fewer Companies Are Going Public (And Why It’s Bad for You)

Why are companies disappearing from the stock market? In 1996, 739 companies went public in America. Last year, only 225 did. That’s less than one-third of the rate just three decades ago — and it’s not just a blip. In this video, we explore the slow, silent death of the IPO and what it means for investors, founders, and the future of capitalism itself. You’ll learn why once-iconic companies like SpaceX, Stripe, and Epic Games are refusing to go public, and how private money from hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, and venture capital has changed everything. We’ll uncover how regulations, quarterly earnings pressure, and massive private funding pools have created a world where only the wealthy can access the fastest-growing companies — while everyday investors are left out. We’ll also dive into the growing risks of this trend: less transparency, fewer opportunities for public investors, and the concentration of economic power in fewer hands. If you’ve ever wondered why it feels harder than ever to “invest early” in the next big thing — this video explains why. This is a story about money, power, and access — and it affects every single person who’s ever dreamed of growing wealth through the stock market. #Finance #Investing #IPO #WallStreet #StockMarket #PrivateEquity #VentureCapital #Economy #MoneyExplained
