Friends That Invest · Index Funds Are Changing: Here’s What You Need to Know · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

Now, the issue that we are running into nowadays is essentially an issue of too much money existing in the private market.

So there's the public market where the S&P 500 is, where everyday retail investors invest.

And for the most part, this is your everyday person that's putting money in, they're buying and holding, they're moving on with their lives, they have bigger and better things to do.

However, in private markets, like just think of yourself as the owner of SpaceX.

We're not going to Elon Musk's mind.

Let's just imagine like we're a different founder of SpaceX.

And in 2026, you could IPO a company.

But the reason why we IPO a company, remember, like, let's go back to Sims Lemonade Stand is because we need cash to fund the growth of our business.

Nowadays, because there is so much private wealth available, the net worth of the extremely wealthy has gotten so large.

There is just so much like money lying around.

Like when people say, oh, it's hard to get funding.

It's hard to get funding if you are a certain person that look a certain way, but it is not hard to get funding if you are also a different looking person with a different background or pedigree or you've come from high

Harvard and you're 22 years old and you're like a boy with a hoodie and you have an idea and you can code.

There is a lot of money available for that kind of person.

There is so much money available that it's not even the money that these companies are trying to decide on.

It's who

money is worth more to us.

And so they might have like a venture fund be like, hey, we'd love to give you a million dollars.

And they're like, yeah, well, it's just a million dollars.

Whereas A16Z, this more prestigious venture fund wants to give me a million dollars and access to its network of like past founders, which include, you know, Mark Zuckerberg or this and that.
