SpaceX is about to make history—and 80% of VCs won’t see a dime of it

SpaceX is set to go public with a valuation between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion, potentially joined by OpenAI and Anthropic in a combined $5 trillion market event. However, only 20% of active venture capitalists (700 out of 3,500–4,000) are invested in these companies, meaning 80% will not benefit from the liquidity. Industry experts note the event may not rescue venture capital as a whole due to the concentrated access of top-tier investors.
