In a Q&A at our DC luncheon for accredited investors, Tom explained that private equity technically means ownership in a business that isn’t publicly traded. You can’t buy it on the stock market.
In the pre-IPO space, we try to invest in a private company right before it goes public, sell as soon as it does, and then go do another one. We rang the bell on SoFi, as much by luck as anything else.
Key points
- Private equity means ownership in a business that isn’t publicly traded.
- Ticker Tape invests right before an IPO and sells soon after.
- Then we repeat the process with the next deal.
