Vine Strategy IPO watch list 2022

The trend of start-ups going public is likely to continue in 2022, despite the billions of dollars spent on them over the past decade.

Successful firms raised $450 billion last year when going public, the highest annual deal volume ever. Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, online brokerage Robinhood and Tesla rival Rivian were among firms getting investors attention and fuelling a wave of initial public offerings (IPOs) and direct listings.

This year, online chat service Discord, digital bank chime and meme-stock purveyor Reddit are among firms preparing for their 2022 public debuts. If a certain payments giant worth nearly $100 billion decides to go public this year, it could help make a new IPO record.
