Sourcery · SpaceX IPO: Inside the Firm That Owns 1% · 14 Jun 2026 podcast

And so he sold in a tender a very long time ago.

And I may butcher the story, but it's approximately some version of like he went to a Lakers game and he got some cash on the tender, went to a Lakers game and bought parking passes.

And those parking passes are now very expensive parking passes given how well SpaceX has done.

But like, you know, it's just like a small thing for him to be like, okay, this is real.

Like it matters.

But most of the time it really is.

It's how people buy their first house or whatever.

you know, student loans or like, I mean, sometimes there are unfortunate stories where it's like people have medical issues.

And so the money is important because people have life events that matter.

sometimes it helps not to know that much, right?

Like if you're going to go start something, you have to know enough to have a chance and not too much, otherwise you'll never do anything.

And so we thought it was, you know, the right, it was sort of the right intersection of some big trends.

And I don't think it was, I thought it was pretty obvious that companies were going to stay private longer, but I don't think that was obvious to people who weren't like on the ground and paying attention.

When we went out and talked to institutional limited partners, they were not necessarily of the mind that the industry was changing, that this was going to be a thing.

And so at this point, we've more or less won the argument, but that was not true 16 years ago.

Yeah, and there's some constraints on the industry, too, because you have to be a registered investment advisor.

So there's a bunch of rules around this as well.

I think from our view, it doesn't matter if it's primary or secondary.

We're just focused on trying to be in companies that we're excited about, that we think can continue to grow for extended periods of time and that are defensible.
