It’s hot IPO summer, and the MANGOS are ripe

11:43 PM IST · June 12, 2026

The IPO market is back, and it’s not the same companies leading the charge. FAANG had a good run, but anew acronym is taking over: MANGOS— Meta (or Microsoft, depending on who you ask), Anthropic, Nvidia, Google, OpenAI, and SpaceX. Half of that bunch is heading to public markets in the same window, and it’s a stress test for investors, for valuations, and for what we can even expect from a public tech company in 2026. On this episode of TechCrunch’sEquitypodcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane break down what this IPO moment actually means beyond the headline numbers, and who stands to benefit.
