Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Innovation doesn't happen in isolation.

It happens in rooms where the right people meet, the right conversations happen, and ambition meets opportunity.

ISF Forum 2026 is that room.

At Tekedia Capital, we recently celebrated our first official unicorn. We invested in this company at launch in Q4 2024, and just last week, it raised an additional $160 million, crossing the billion-dollar valuation mark.

Within this quarter, we expect another unicorn milestone as one of our portfolio companies completes its latest fundraising. This one is particularly remarkable; we invested at a $5 million valuation, and it is now worth $1 billion with minimal dilution.

Good People, there is abundance in the future. Beginning Monday, as the next Tekedia Capital cycle opens, we will be deploying capital into 18 global startups.

[Ndubuisi Ekekwe @ndekekwe]

Congrats Corgi for giving Tekedia Capital its first unicorn. You did this in less than 15 months, from launch to unicorn. Continue to win the market!
