Going Public - How Silicon Valley Rebels Loosened Wall Street's Grip on the IPO and Sparked a Revolution (Hardcover)

GOING PUBLIC is a character-driven narrative centered on the last
five years of unparalleled change in how technology startups sell
shares to the public. Initial public offerings, or IPOs, are
typically the first time retail investors can own a piece of the
New Economy companies promising to rewire economic rules. Selling
IPOs is also one of the most profitable businesses for Wall Street
investment banks, who have spent the last 40 years protecting their
profits. In an era when algorithms and software have made the
financial markets more efficient, the pricing of IPOs still relies
on human judgment. In 2016, executives at music-streaming service
Spotify sought to upend the status quo. Led by a trim and
understated CFO, Barry McCarthy, and a shy but brilliant founder,
Daniel Ek, they took a wild idea and forged something new. GOING
PUBLIC explores how they got comfortable with the risk, and how
they lobbied securities watchdogs and exchange staff to rewrite the
regulations. Readers will meet executives at disruptive companies
like Airbnb, DoorDash, and data miner Palantir, venture
capitalists, and even some bankers who seized on Spotify's labor
and used it to knock Wall Street bankers off the piles of fees
they'd been stacking for so long. GOING PUBLIC weaves in earlier
attempts to rethink the IPO process, introducing readers to one of
Silicon Valley's earliest bankers, Bill Hambrecht, whose invention
for selling shares online was embraced by Google founders Larry
Page and Sergey Brin when they auctioned their shares in 2004. And
it examines the recent boom in blank-check companies, those Wall
Street insider deals that have suddenly become the hottest way to
enter the public markets. GOING PUBLIC tells stories from inside
the room, and more.
