"Instacart is a bellwether to see if other companies want to file before the end of the year" explains Phil Haslett, EquityZen Chief Strategy Officer. It has companies thinking "if Instacart can price well and trade successfully, maybe we should bring our company to the market as well, so long as we have all of the characteristics, which are profitability, growth, and hopefully a bit of a commitment from investors already". More from Phil's conversation with Sonali Basak and Jon Erlichman about Instacart & the IPO market on Bloomberg TV.
