Public, the Agentic Brokerage, has today launched private company pages, offering retail investors access to institutional-grade data on prominent private companies before their Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). From today, investors can track over 60 private companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Stripe, with detailed valuation history, funding rounds, and price trends.
The new pages on Public provide retail investors with institutional-grade data, allowing them to track each company's valuation over time and understand the context behind major milestones. These pages also introduce new investment pathways, with a Public Market Exposure section demonstrating how investors can gain indirect exposure today. Users can also sign up for updates on company news and future IPO developments.

Leif Abraham, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Public commented:
“With companies going public much later today, their relationship with retail investors starts before they're public. Public is now one of the first platforms where you can track all the fundamentals before a company goes public.”
The increasing involvement of retail investors is becoming an integral part of a company's IPO story. To commence tracking the world's leading private companies, investors can download the Public app.

Investors utilise AI and a vast variety of asset classes, from stocks and bonds to crypto and options, to construct long-term portfolios.
