IPOs to Watch in 2025
Innovative Tech and Fintech Companies to Watch in 2025 Innovative tech and fintech companies are increasingly opting to go public, giving them access to fresh capital and market opportunities. However, initial public offerings (IPOs) can be volatile when they debut on public exchanges; further compounded by short-term trading like "flipping," where investors purchase an IPO's stock early only to sell it later at a profit; some early investors also may have lock-up periods which prevent them from selling until certain dates - this may also affect price fluctuations significantly.
Canva
Canva, the design-software giant, is set to make their public debut in 2025 as one of many promising startups that could make an appearance, including Kelly Steckelberg who previously led Zoom's $32 billion IPO in 2024.
Databricks
Databricks could be valued at over $43 billion when it goes public this fall, having revolutionized how businesses utilize AI and big data. Upside Foods' offering aims to bring lab-grown animal meat mainstream by lowering costs and risks associated with traditional farming.
Hinge Health
Hinge Health, which offers virtual physical therapy services, has already raised over $126 million from venture capitalists including Tiger Global and Coatue, and filed with the SEC for a confidential IPO to keep its finances private.
Stripe and Klarna
Stripe and Klarna have made waves in the fintech sector with their digital payment processing and buy now/pay later services, drawing widespread acclaim. Both are expected to debut as publicly listed entities by early 2025 and collectively become worth over $12 billion once listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Neuralink
Neuralink's IPO should also be watched out for, as they're building a brain-machine interface which could allow them to control devices or perform surgery with just their thoughts alone. They have already received $50 million investment from Sequoia Venture Capital Firm.
