OpenAI, Stripe, Kalshi & Investing Before the IPO

Episode 229: How can everyday investors gain exposure to the world's most sought-after private companies? Today, Ann is joined by Mike Dinsdale, CEO of Powerlaw Capital Group, whose publicly traded fund invests in private companies like OpenAI, Stripe, Kalshi and Canva before they go public. They discuss what happens when a portfolio company like SpaceX lists, reinvesting those proceeds into the next group of private companies, and the challenges of valuing private businesses. They also unpack why more companies are staying private for longer – and what ultimately drives the share price of a publicly traded fund that invests in private companies.
