What is it like to IPO on NYSE, New Ways of Funding, Lack of Innovation at Google and IPO Market
In this episode, we talk tech giants bypassing copyright laws to train AI models, the challenges of innovation in large companies, and a new publicly traded fund that invests in high-profile private companies.
This week’s guest is Morten Primdahl, co-founder of Zendesk, who shares his experience of the IPO day and the journey leading up to it. In this part of the conversation, Morten describes his experience of the Zendesk IPO and the emotions he felt during the process. He talks about the excitement of being at the New York Stock Exchange, ringing the bell, and seeing the stock start trading.
He also discusses the validation and sense of accomplishment that comes with going public. The conversation then shifts to the challenges and downsides of doing an IPO, including the pressure to meet market expectations and the potential impact on product development and customer focus. The hosts also discuss the current state of the IPO market and the importance of focusing on profitability and building a strong company
