We gave retail SpaceX.

We Gave Retail SpaceX. Here's What Happened.
With SpaceX's historic debut at $1.77 trillion on June 12, 2026, we're proud to say that Founderscrowd democratized access to the private market for retail investors first, in November 2025.
Before SpaceX hit the public markets, our Premium members gained early access to private-market exposure through Republic's rSPAX Mirror Tokens. Early members bought in at $1.2-1.4 trillion valuations. The IPO priced at $1.77 trillion. The stock hit $200+ in the first week.
Some of our members just made 150%+ returns.
This is what happens when you get in early instead of watching from the sidelines.
3 Backdoor Plays Before the SpaceX IPO
SpaceX is reportedly valued north of $350B — the biggest pre-IPO story of the decade.
But you don't have to wait for the listing to position yourself.
We've with direct exposure to SpaceX's growth — names you can buy today in your regular brokerage account.
From the satellite supplier embedded in Starlink's hardware to a defense contractor sitting on a multi-year Falcon 9 deal, these are the tickers Wall Street is quietly accumulating ahead of the listing.
, including target levels, risk tiers, and the one name our analysts think has the most upside.
The Numbers
Early Entry (November 2025)
Valuation: $1.2T
Equivalent share price: ~$120
Current price: $200+
Return: 67%+
IPO Day Entry (June 12, 2026)
IPO price: $135
Current price: $200+
Return: 48%+
Outside Access (No Founderscrowd)
Return: $0
The difference between being in and being locked out is access. That's why we exist.
What's Next
This wasn't a one-time play. Anthropic is next. OpenAI after that. Every mega-cap IPO coming in 2026-2027.
We're already talking to Republic about expanding access to the next wave of private market opportunities. When secondary tranches open, Premium members will get first notification — just like SpaceX.
The playbook works. Institutions have been doing this for decades. We're bringing it to you.
Why This Matters
For too long, wealth creation in private markets was reserved for the ultra-wealthy, family offices, and people who knew the right people.
Institutions got 50x+ returns. Retail got zero.
SpaceX proved that it doesn't have to be the case. When you have the right access and the right information, retail can compete.
150+ members are looking at six-figure gains on what would have been impossible 18 months ago.
That's not luck. That's access.

P.S. Thanks to our partners at Republic for building the infrastructure (rSPAX Mirror Tokens) that made this possible. The future of capital markets is tokenized, fractionalized, and democratic.
P.P.S. If you're in Premium and captured gains on SpaceX — congratulations. Reinvest those gains into Anthropic when access opens. This is how wealth compounds.
