SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI’s hot IPO summer
Mirrored from TechCrunch — AI for archival readability. Support the source by reading on the original site.
The IPO market is back, and it’s not the same companies leading the charge. FAANG had a good run, but a new acronym is taking over: MANGOS — Meta (or Microsoft, depending on who you ask), Anthropic, Nvidia, Google, OpenAI, and SpaceX. Half of that bunch is heading to public markets in the same window, and it’s a stress test for investors, for valuations, and for what we can even expect from a public tech company in 2026.
On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane break down what this IPO moment actually means beyond the headline numbers, and who stands to benefit.
