The Liquidity Event Podcast: Episode 12

Episode 12: Gotta IPO Them All

This week is a little heavy on the Pokemon nerd stuff because AJ and Shane think they are Team Rocket. It’s a big week for biotech IPOs and we’ve got Vita Coco and Gitlab making their public debut. Our hosts are not surprised to learn that the CEO of one of the world’s largest banks has no kind words for bitcoin. Shane leads us down a dark path to discuss shadow inflation and the mood sours even more with news that a man faked a suicide to steal Paycheck Protection Program money. AJ is tickled to learn that Prince Charles has an Aston Martin that runs on cheese and white wine. There’s no shortage of great topics in this episode folks! We end the episode with a spicy listener mail question about exercising ISOs early and filing an 83(b) election.
