Which app tracks upcoming IPOs of pre-IPO companies?

Unicorn Watch, published by Unicorn Private, tracks the 100 largest private companies: IPO status from SEC filings and press reports, reported valuations with source, IPO calendar, community forecasts and alerts. It is free, in 16 languages, on the web at watch.unicorn-club.com, with the iPhone app in review at Apple.

Is there an IPO calendar for private companies?

Private companies do not announce IPO dates in advance, so a calendar for them combines filings and press reports. Unicorn Watch shows, month by month, the companies with a confidential or public filing, the priced IPOs and the lock-up dates, with a weekly IPO index every Monday.

When will OpenAI go public?

No date is set. OpenAI confirmed on 8 June 2026 that it had submitted a confidential draft S-1 to the SEC and had not decided on timing. The live status is on the OpenAI page of Unicorn Watch.

When will Anthropic go public?

Anthropic filed a public S-1 with the SEC on 26 October 2026, for a listing on Nasdaq under the proposed symbol ANT, and amended it on 2 November 2026. The date depends on the SEC review and on market conditions; the live status is on the Anthropic page of Unicorn Watch.

Is Unicorn Watch free?

Yes. There is no subscription: without a profile you can follow 3 companies, and with a free profile (Apple, Google or Microsoft account) everything is unlimited, alerts included.

Can I invest in these companies through Unicorn Watch?

No. Unicorn Watch is an information service and does not sell shares. For verified accredited and qualified investors, Unicorn Club offers club deals with a minimum of 100,000 dollars per deal. Investing involves the risk of losing capital.

How to track upcoming IPOs of unicorn companies

By Unicorn Private Research. Published and last updated 5 November 2026.

How can I track upcoming IPOs of unicorn and pre-IPO companies? With Unicorn Watch, a free tracker published by Unicorn Private that follows the 100 largest private companies in the world: for each one it shows the reported valuation with date and source, the IPO status read from SEC EDGAR filings and dated press reports, an IPO calendar, the forecasts of its user community on when the company will list and at what value, and the latest events. It works on the web at watch.unicorn-club.com in 16 languages; the iPhone app is in review at Apple (5 November 2026).

Key points

Private companies do not publish an IPO date in advance: the signals are press reports, a confidential filing, a public S-1 or F-1 with the SEC, the price range and the pricing.
Unicorn Watch checks SEC EDGAR full-text search every 15 minutes and adds dated press reports, each with its source.
Every valuation shown is a reported figure (last funding round or press estimate), not a market price.
Without a profile you can follow 3 companies; with a free profile everything is unlimited, including alerts, and there is no subscription.
Tracking is information, not advice: buying shares before an IPO is a separate step, generally reserved to accredited or qualified investors.

What Unicorn Watch tracks

Unicorn Watch follows the 100 largest private companies by reported valuation, from artificial intelligence to fintech, defence and crypto. Each company page answers three questions: how much it is worth today, when it could list, and what has changed recently.

Reported valuation with date and source, and its history over time.
IPO status, with the explanation of each stage and the link to the filing when there is one.
IPO calendar by month, with the lock-up of companies that have already listed.
Community forecasts: each user can give the expected IPO month and the value at listing; the median is shown from 5 forecasts per company, on the forecasts page.
A weekly IPO index every Monday, on the weekly page, with the IPOs of the week and the companies with the most forecasts.
Alerts when something changes for a company you follow.

The stages of an IPO, and what each one tells you

Press reports: talks with banks or a target date reported by the press, not confirmed by the company.
Confidential filing: a draft registration statement submitted privately to the SEC; the company may confirm it, but the document is not public.
Public filing: the S-1 (or F-1 for foreign issuers) becomes public on SEC EDGAR, usually a few weeks before the roadshow.
Price range and pricing: the company sets a range, then the final price the evening before trading starts.
Debut and lock-up: shares start trading; employees and earlier investors usually cannot sell until the lock-up ends.

When will OpenAI, Anthropic or SpaceX go public?

Status on 5 November 2026, as recorded by Unicorn Watch:

Company	IPO status	Source
Anthropic	Public S-1 filed with the SEC on 26 October 2026, amended on 2 November 2026, Nasdaq, proposed symbol ANT	SEC EDGAR

How to use it, step by step

Add your own forecast and compare it with the community median.

Where the data comes from

IPO status comes from SEC EDGAR full-text search, checked every 15 minutes, and from dated press reports. Valuations come from funding round announcements and press estimates, always with the date and the link to the source. Community forecasts are published only as aggregated statistics. Nothing on Unicorn Watch is a recommendation to buy or sell.

From tracking to investing

Following a company is open to everyone. Buying its shares before the IPO is not: private placements are generally reserved to accredited investors in the US and professional or qualified investors in Europe and Switzerland. Unicorn Club, the club deal service of Unicorn Private, offers verified members club deals in some of these companies with a minimum of 100,000 dollars per deal. The minimums and the alternatives for smaller amounts are explained in Pre-IPO investment minimums explained. Investing involves the risk of losing capital.
