Will 2026 be the biggest year ever for new tech millionaires?
2026 could be the year some of the largest private tech companies finally go public.
Think SpaceX, OpenAI, Stripe, Databricks, Anthropic, Canva, Scale AI, and others.
What makes this potential IPO wave different is not hype.
It’s math.
Many of today’s IPO candidates are:
• Bigger
• More mature
• Private for far longer
• Employing significantly more people before liquidity arrives
That combination matters. Even a small number of IPOs could translate into employee wealth at a scale we have not seen before.
But for employees, IPOs are not just upside moments.
They are decision moments.
Questions show up fast:
• When to exercise
• How taxes will apply
• What concentration risk looks like
• Whether you are prepared before the window tightens
