In this solo episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down the next major wave of wealth creation: private AI companies and the race to find the next generation of AI billionaires before the public market catches up.
Ross explains why the biggest money in artificial intelligence may not be made after companies go public — but before the IPO, when early investors, founders, institutions, venture capital firms, and private market insiders gain access to companies long before retail investors can buy shares.
This episode dives into the AI companies Wall Street is watching, the rise of private market investing, and why the next wealth transfer may already be happening inside artificial intelligence, data infrastructure, automation, software, robotics, and machine learning.
Ross also breaks down how investors should think about pre-IPO investing, private placements, AI startups, capital formation, venture capital, and the companies that could dominate the next decade of technology.
If you’re interested in AI stocks, artificial intelligence investing, private AI companies, pre-IPO investing, venture capital, IPO opportunities, Wall Street strategy, and how billionaires are created before the public knows the story, this episode gives you Ross Mandell’s direct take on what investors should be watching now.
