The Quiet Work Behind a Loud IPO with Peter Goldstein

How does a business actually go public? You might think it’s all about the big, flashy moment—but the truth is, it’s the quiet work that sets you up for success long before that moment arrives.

In this episode of The Visionaries Show, Mohan and I talk with Peter Goldstein, an expert who’s seen it all when it comes to IPOs. He shares what it really takes to get your company ready, why having the right management team is crucial, and how the IPO process is more about years of planning than a one-time event.

Peter also talks about the 2025 IPO Summit, an event that can help entrepreneurs like you better understand the IPO process and get your business prepared.

Here’s what we cover:

• Why most entrepreneurs avoid thinking about going public (and how it’s holding them back)
  
  
• The game-changing role a solid management team plays in IPO success
  
  
• The timeline for planning an IPO (hint: it’s a lot longer than you think)
  
  
• What investors want to see from your company
  
  
• What the SEC does (and doesn’t do) during the IPO process
  
  
• Why marketing your stock is just as important as marketing your business
