Rebecca Kacaba (DealMaker) on Retail Capital & the AI IPO Wave

After a MetaView sponsor read, DealMaker's Rebecca Kacaba joins for her second appearance on the show. She recaps retail's growing role in capital markets — SpaceX allocating 30% of its round to retail versus the typical 5–10%, and brokerages like Robinhood, Fidelity and Schwab lowering IPO minimums — and weighs whether Anthropic and OpenAI will follow with large retail allocations. She shares DealMaker survey findings showing retail fear about AI's economic impact, argues accredited-investor rules still lock everyday people out of private companies, and notes rising retail demand in categories like robotics as IPO capital returns to the market.
