A few thoughts from The Blueshirt Group co-founder Alex Wellins: "Following Morgan Stanley's Spark conference, Cory Weinberg authored a solid story on a common question -- 'If the markets are at (or near) all-time highs) and the VIX is at a reasonable level, why are there so few tech IPOs?'" I was happy to add some commentary to the story. I'll note that while it's too early and there are too many variables to be certain, insights from The Blueshirt Group's sizable pre-IPO client base and our IPO pipeline analysis suggest a rebound towards a more normalized level of #tech #IPOs in 2025."

About us
The Blueshirt Group has earned its reputation as a leader in investor relations (IR), IPO advisory, financial communications, financial media relations and crisis management. Founded in 1999, our firm provides capital markets expertise and strategic financial media relations counsel to growth companies and venture capital firms globally. Blueshirt has managed IR programs for more technology-related IPOs than any other firm and represents many of the best-known and top-performing IPOs. Our client base also includes existing public companies as well as pre-IPO companies at various stages of development. In addition to technology, our expertise spans the consumer, healthcare, energy and industrial sectors. The Blueshirt team is comprised of Wall Street and industry veterans who have extensive relationships and established credibility with analysts, bankers, institutional investors, VCs and the media through years of strong execution. Deep knowledge of our clients, their industries and the capital markets enables us to deliver strategic value and give our clients a competitive advantage. Through our collective experience, we have managed virtually every financial communications challenge that our clients may face. We offer our clients a highly differentiated business model compared to traditional agencies. We limit the number of clients with whom each senior member of our team works. We do this for one simple reason: working with fewer clients per team enables us to focus on each client and to understand their business in depth. We are able to offer an in-house level of service with the benefits of an outsourced approach. This unique model has resulted in extremely high client retention and long-term engagements, paired with a strong growth profile for our clients.

Blueshirt’s latest IPO survey, featuring insights from over 60 institutional investors, highlights a strong appetite for IPOs and a bias for growth over profitability. Alex Wellins, co-founder and managing partner at Blueshirt, discussed these findings in a recent article on the Bloomberg terminal by Bailey Lipschultz, noting, "In internet and software, there are very few public companies guiding to above 25% to 30% growth. The only way to reinvigorate growth in the public markets is through IPOs." Key survey highlights include: - 99% of respondents eagerly anticipate the return of IPOs, up from 96% last year. - 70% prioritize growth, with 60% expecting profitability by 2026. - 87% have maintained or increased their capital allocation for IPOs compared to 2020-2021. - 86% express interest in small and mid-cap IPOs, with specific criteria for revenue, market cap, and public float thresholds. Blueshirt has been actively involved in five tech IPOs so far this year, providing real-time insights that underscore robust investor interest, even for smaller IPOs. For a deeper dive into our survey results and expert guidance on navigating the upcoming IPO landscape, reach out to Blueshirt. We’re committed to helping companies differentiate themselves in what promises to be a competitive IPO market next year. #IPO #Tech #Investment #Survey #Growth #CapitalMarkets #Blueshirt

The Blueshirt Group reposted this
Yesterday I participated on a panel titled "Accessing the Public Markets" along with Christopher Weekes and Tengbo Li at the TD Securities' Private Technology Growth Summit. This was a lively and timely discussion given the recent wave of tech IPOs (many are Blueshirt clients). Topics included best practices for companies considering an IPO in the next 18 months, the investor perspective on scale required to access the public markets and structural differences between the current cohort of IPOs versus the three tech IPOs last fall. Thanks to the TD Securities team for hosting a great event and including me. #ipo
