Tech IPOs 2026 — Knowledge Base

[!TIP] New here? Start with this page. This is the front door. It explains what the knowledge base covers and where to begin, then how it's organized.

[!IMPORTANT] This is a public demo repository This repo is a public example built with Open Knowledge — Inkeep's agent-native, local-first knowledge platform (Obsidian-grade editor + CRDT + MCP + git). It exists to show what an Open Knowledge knowledge base looks like in practice and is safe to share with anyone. To learn how it works or build your own, see the Open Knowledge documentation.

[!CAUTION] Not financial advice — demonstration only The subject matter is a demonstration. The companies, figures, dates, and events in it may be provisional, inaccurate, or entirely fictional. Nothing here is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, and none of it should be relied on for any decision. It exists to demonstrate the knowledge-base workflow, not to inform real-world investing.

What this covers

A focused, sourced look at the 2026 wave of mega technology IPOs and the dense web of capital that connects them. Three companies anchor it — all three have now filed to go public (SpaceX in April, OpenAI ~May 22, Anthropic on June 1):

Company	Valuation (mid-2026)	IPO status	Profile
SpaceX	~$1.75–1.8T	Filed S-1 (ticker SPCX); priced at a fixed $135/share, listing ~June 12 2026 — potentially the largest IPO in history	SpaceX
Anthropic	~$965B	Filed confidential draft S-1 (Jun 1, 2026) — now the #1 AI startup by value	Anthropic
OpenAI	~$852B	Filed confidentially with the SEC, targeting H2 2026	OpenAI

Running underneath all three is the AI "circular financing" web — the same firms (Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Oracle, AMD, Broadcom, CoreWeave) acting as investors, suppliers, and customers of each other.

Where to start

• Historical Tech IPOs by Year — how the 2026 cohort stacks up against every marquee tech IPO since Netscape (1995).
• Post-IPO Returns (IPO → 5 years) — an animated line-race of your % return buying Uber, Snowflake & Rivian at the IPO, played from IPO day out to five years.
• AAPL Live Ticker — a keyless, proxy-free OK embed — a genuinely live AAPL ticker fetched directly (no proxy, no managed key), plus the analysis of why a naive in-embed fetch first failed (the sandbox CSP + Yahoo's missing CORS) and how a relaxed CSP and a CORS-sending API fixed it.
• Company deep-dives — SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI: valuation trajectory, funding, and capital-web position.
• Other 2026 Tech IPOs — beyond the big three: Cerebras (already public), plus the pipeline (Databricks, Stripe, Canva, Cohere, Strava, Lime).

How this knowledge base is organized

It follows a three-layer pipeline — every claim traces back to a preserved source:

1. Raw sources — the verbatim fetched text of every cited URL and document lives in external-sources/ (18 sources: company announcements, SEC filings, CNBC/CNN/Bloomberg/TechCrunch reporting). Immutable once captured.
2. Research — provisional analysis that synthesizes those sources lives in research/ (the 6 docs linked above). Every figure cites a source doc; nothing is asserted without a trail. Marked status: provisional.
3. Articles — once findings are settled into a team decision, they're promoted to canonical write-ups in articles/.

The Work Log is an append-only audit trail of every change to the KB.

[!NOTE] Why the closed loop? Downstream docs cite local source paths, never bare web URLs — so a reader can always trace any figure to preserved evidence rather than a link that may have rotted.

Built with Open Knowledge

This demo runs on Open Knowledge by Inkeep — a local-first, agent-native knowledge platform combining an Obsidian-grade editor, CRDT collaboration, MCP, and git. Everything you see here (the three-layer source → research → article pipeline, the live preview, the audit log) is Open Knowledge in action. See the documentation to learn more or spin up your own.
