Q: I am watching stocks like coreweave (CRWV) and I'm curious about the IPO market. In the lifetime of the IPO market, when is there a bigger flood of them and when does the release of initial public offerings slow down. How does one catch a good one? By looking at the supply/demand market of their product, how they did as a private company, who is invested in them with a great track record of calling the right shots when it comes to future winners....does 5i research look at the pre IPO market? Or do you just wait until a company comes out and establishes a track record with quarterly earnings? So how do you pick a future winner that might become a Magnificent 7. Do you have any picks that have IPO'd in the last 5 years or coming up that you think will hit it big time?

Q: The Cerebras IPO, that has been delayed since last year, looks very interesting. I wonder if 5i has a view on if/when it will happen and considers it attractive.
Having spent some time working on wafer scale integration, it is a far more complex and challenging problem than they make it sound like.
Appreciate your insight, Peter

Q: If discussing investing in companies pre-IPO is within the scope of 5i please make general comments on such a strategy and investing in Anduril in particular. The company appears to be an established leader in military drone development and is anticipated to go public within the next few years. I am not sure how one goes about participating pre-IPO, but a web search came up with investing via a company such as Forge as an option (presumably for a fee). I meet the criteria but am hesitant to proceed.
