Last month I presented at Pinterest’s Annual Women Inspire conference in Chicago. I’m excited to say I’ll be paying a visit to their headquarters in San Francisco this month to share even more financial education with the women on the West Coast. One cool thing about Pinterest is that they went public earlier this year. As I thought about what to say in my presentation, I realized that we’d encountered a lot of recent IPO activity.

As of September 27th, 2019, 114 companies have gone public, including Uber, Beyond Meat, Peleton, and Slack, to name a few. This is nearly double the number of companies that went public in 2009.
