The stakes for a healthcare IPO are higher than ever
Briefly

The healthcare IPO landscape is tightening as investors impose stricter criteria on startups hoping to go public this year. Following a disappointing few years where only four companies from the previous IPO wave remained public, current expectations include substantial revenues in the hundreds of millions, clear paths to profitability, and consistent growth rates exceeding 30%. As interest rates decline, the pressure is on these startups to significantly improve their financial profiles to attract investor interest, marking a stark contrast from the earlier cycle where many unprofitable companies were welcomed to the public market.
