SpaceX?
- whamlastxmas 11mo agoAround $350 to $400 billion from a couple sources I saw, but it's a lot of speculation
- throwup238 11mo agoIf SpaceX is still a “startup”, the word has lost all meaning.
- tguedes 11mo agoIt already has. Any tech company that is pre-IPO and still raising funding rounds is a "startup". I'm surprised there hasn't been someone to come up with a separate term for the stage of these kinds of companies.
- airspresso 11mo agoThat's just a privately owned tech company then. Lots of companies never IPO.
- tguedes 11mo agoStill, I think there needs to be a specific term for a company that has recently had a funding round and will likely IPO in the future, like Stripe. That's a different category than a start-up or privately owned company that will never IPO like Koch Inc.
