Editor’s Note: SpaceX is going to be the single biggest IPO ever. 99% of regular investors will WAIT for the stock to begin trading on NASDAQ. Today I’ll show you how to claim a stake in SpaceX a few months before it goes public – and at a deep discount.
Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL) started developing an autonomous vehicle platform called Waymo (private) in 2011.
Since then, Waymo has become self-driving leader. The company operates in six American cities and provides over 400,000 rides per week.
Last year the company provided a total of 15 million rides. That marked a 200% increase in just one-year.
Waymo has driven riders a total of 127 million miles. The company reports that it’s achieved an amazing safety record – with a 90% reduction in serious crashes.
Looking forward to 2026 – Waymo plans to expand to 20 cities. This includes the first international markets of London and Tokyo.
That rapid expansion will require a significant investment. It’s estimated that a single vehicle cost $150,000 - $200,000 – with hardware and sensors adding significantly to the vehicle cost.
Earlier this month, Waymo announced one of the biggest private financing rounds in history.
Waymo raised $16 billion from investors in early February. That financing round values the company at $126 billion.
Numerous tier one investors participated in the round including DTS, Sequoia, A16Z, Silver Lake and Tiger Global. This massive infusion of capital could sustain Waymo for 12 – 24 months. Click here to discover the Pre-IPO secret.
Google has previously spun out Waymo as a separate operating company in 2016. This allowed the company to raise capital from outside investors. It also set the stage for the company to go public.
My prediction is that Waymo will Initial Public Offering in 2027.
The world’s best investors don’t WAIT for a stock to go public. Instead, they invest months or even years before an IPO. This often allows them to secure shares at a deep discount to the IPO share price.
