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 📩 The new edition of Options to Ownership is out now >> linkedin.com/feed/update/ur… “Will 2026 be the biggest year ever for new tech millionaires?”

@orenbarzilai This is an amazing story, thanks for sharing!

I’m incredibly proud of what we’re building at @EquityBee - reason #1337 We are making the world a better place (for real!) 🌍 Several years ago, we funded an employee who needed $350K+ to exercise his stock options. He immigrated from India and was on the verge of losing his hard earned equity. He got funded via Equitybee His company went public Total return of his equity: over $4M He personally netted about $3M A life-changing outcome for him, and a great return for the investors who backed him. But the story didn’t end there. He used some of his proceeds to start a nonprofit in India that provides medical treatment for children in underserved communities. Because he was able to keep his equity, kids who otherwise wouldn’t have access to care are now getting the medical treatment they need. This is the ripple effect of Equitybee. This is why Equitybee exists. Proud of the team, proud of that employee we funded, and proud of the impact we’re creating.
