Maybe more granularity is needed in the scale. I appreciate the ChatGPT or whatever pulling in news to back up the claim, but some have materially different claims yet the same confidence ranking. I do appreciate that even filed docs make a company 4/5 though and not 5/5.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

All value has been extracted by VC before the IPO. All the IPO does is dump the stock on institutions and retail investors.

This is trivially proven false, at least as a generalization. Looking at recent-ish IPOs: Spotify: up 380% since IPO Service Now: 4,000% Shopify: 685% Meta: 1,600%

There are at least 150-250 IPOs every year, good luck picking winners like those four.

If https://site.warrington.ufl.edu/ritter/files/IPOs-VC-backed.... is right, the last time there were 150+ tech IPOs in a year was 2000 (1992-2000 were all anomalously high). 2021 is the only year to break 100 since then, and only three other years cracked 50.
