Space X, The World's Largest IPO Is Coming Up. Champagne's On Ice – Now What?

SpaceX, the rocket maker and artificial intelligence company, set a price for its initial public offering on Wednesday of $135, which would value it at $1.77 trillion and crown it the largest I.P.O. ever – which is poised to exceed the 2019 initial public offering of Saudi Aramco in both valuation and money raised.

At that price, SpaceX would raise $74.4 billion from the offering, and its valuation would be more than 40 percent higher than the $1.25 trillion that it valued itself at in February.

Champagne's on ice – now what?

If you're sitting on a windfall from today's historic SpaceX IPO filing, first: congratulations. Second: we have a thought.

Put some of that rocket fuel to work for women.

Women Entrepreneurs Grow Global (wegg®) educates women business owners worldwide on how to take their companies global – because economic opportunity shouldn't stop at any border.

A gift to wegg® (a nonprofit organization) is the kind of investment that pays forward. Smart money knows that.
