    The IPO Lockup Trap for Software Companies
    Oct 18 2026
    We dissect the mechanics of the one hundred eighty day lockup period that governs tech IPOs. Using Palantir’s recent market volatility as a case study, Lucas and Luna explain how insider selling pressure creates artificial supply shocks. We look at why early investors are bypassing traditional roadshows to secure private credit lines instead, and what this shift means for public market stability in October 2026. #TechIPOs #PublicMarkets #LockupPeriod #Palantir #PrivateCredit #VentureCapital #MarketVolatility #InsiderSelling #SoftwareCompanies #FinancialNews #BusinessStrategy #InvestmentBanking #StartupFunding #LiquidityEvents #StockPrice #CorporateFinance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
