Klarna has filed for a proposed IPO in the US in H1’25 and Swedish online pharmacy Apotea has announced its intention to IPO in Sweden in the next couple of weeks. That is positive news that could hopefully change sentiment and see more private technology companies go public.
Startup investing stops working if founders, employees and investors don’t make money from exits (regardless of IPOs on the stock market, secondary sales or private M&A transactions), and the last 3 years have not had many exits. A change to that is very welcome.
