ServiceTitan successfully completed its initial public offering (IPO) today, debuting on the Nasdaq at $101/share, a roughly 42% increase from their initial IPO price of $71/share. This marked a significant milestone not only for ServiceTitan but also for the Innovation Fund as it represents the first portfolio company to go public.
The ServiceTitan story is the classic story of entrepreneurship in America. Founded by the sons of first-generation immigrants, ServiceTitan started as an idea to help those who worked in the trades and has since grown to become one of the leading cloud-based SaaS software for the industry. Despite serving over 100k customers, the company is arguably still early in its journey with a $1.5 trillion target market that remains largely underserved by technology.
As both an investor in the company and a beneficiary of the product (through the contractors and vendors we work with), we’re thrilled to see what the future holds for one of the great startup success stories of the past decade.
The company’s IPO is also a testament to the progress of the Innovation Fund. Since its initial launch just two years ago, the Fund has also grown from merely an idea to a $150M portfolio that includes many of the most well renowned private technology companies in the country.
The idea behind the Innovation Fund has always been straightforward — give individuals the opportunity to invest in the best private companies before they go public…and do it at the same price and terms received by the top venture funds.
ServiceTitan is the first of what will hopefully be many case studies for this philosophy. The Innovation Fund was able to invest initially more than a year ago at a price of roughly $65/share. Fast forward to today and the company IPO’d at $71/share only to then begin trading at $101/share…a 42% immediate gain.
Traditionally those returns would go to the venture investors and early institutional investors fortunate enough to be able to invest before the stock started trading. For Innovation Fund investors, they got exposure to those same returns in a way that previously had not been possible.
As we look ahead, we’re optimistic that ServiceTitan’s success may be an early signal of the IPO market continuing to open up, paving the way for many of the other great private companies within the portfolio to continue to follow suit.
We’re incredibly excited to be able to share this new and uncharted territory with you, our fellow Innovation Fund investors, and look forward to more prospects in the year ahead.
Onward,
Ben & the Fundrise Team
Reminder: The Fund’s NAV takes into consideration the price of any publicly traded securities held by the Fund at the end of trading that day. As more companies in the Fund IPO (like ServiceTitan), it is expected that an increasing percentage of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to be held in publicly traded stocks. As a result, it is also to be expected that there may more volatility in the share price of the Fund day to day, due to general fluctuations in the stock market.
