@eperlste @Airbnb @ltse Direct listing is orthogonal, correct? You could direct list on LTSE (vs IPO)

@lksugarman @Airbnb Technically, it was always possible, but until Barry McCarthy @Spotify , no company had done this in lieu of an IPO with regulatory approval. So it was theoretical, and no one was willing to be “the first penguin”
