Pre-IPO, pre-initial public offering is a late-stage for a private company to raise funds in advance of its listing on a public exchange.
==History== Before the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s private firms enjoyed the largest capital flows with initial public offering (IPO). Since then, more and more startups succeed in getting sufficient funding, and as a result, their valuation grew before IPO.
