    Capital Ideas 24: Clearing the IPO Roadblock with Prof. Platt

    In this episode of Capital Ideas, we sit down with Professor Alexander Platt from the University of Kansas School of Law to discuss his groundbreaking paper "Rethinking the IPO Bureaucracy." Prof. Platt challenges the 90-year-old SEC practice of pre-screening IPO disclosures, which adds months to the process and may be driving companies away from public markets. Drawing on newly obtained FOIA data, he reveals that approximately 40% of initial IPO filers fail to complete their transactions, often turning to private capital instead. Is this regulatory review process—which wasn't even part of the original Securities Act of 1933—still serving investors, or has it become an obsolete roadblock in today's sophisticated market?Join us as we explore Platt's proposal to abolish the IPO bureaucracy entirely and what this could mean for the future of public markets.
