The SpaceX IPO Effect on Venture Capital
The Venture Capital Podcast with Fexingo: VCs, Term Sheets, and Startup Investing · 2026-06-12 · 6 min
Episode notes
SpaceX went public today after years of speculation. Lucas and Luna break down what the IPO means for venture capital — how a massive, high-profile debut reshapes term sheets, valuation expectations, and the pace of later-stage investing. They look at the ripple effects on private market comps, the pressure on VCs to get into high-growth names before they hit the public market, and what it signals for other pre-IPO giants like Mistral, which is rumored to be raising at a €20 billion valuation. With concrete examples and a dose of realism about what VCs actually gain or lose when a mega-IPO hits the tape. #SpaceXIPO #VentureCapital #IPOs #TermSheets #PrivateMarkets #Valuations #MistralAI #LaterStageInvesting #CrossoverInvestors #Robinhood #Business #Finance #Technology #StartupInvesting #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheVentureCapitalPodcast #SandHillRoad Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
