| Eps 2, The Pop: IPO Roadshows, Pricing & Allocation w/ Alaoui Zenere (J.P. Morgan) | 16 Jun 2026 | 00:48:13 | |
Alaoui Zenere, Managing Director in Equity Capital Markets at J.P. Morgan, joins The Pop to shed light on the world of underwriting, including the IPO roadshow, bookbuilding, pricing, and how the allocation process actually works. We cover what companies are really choosing when they hire a banker, what an underwriter does behind the scenes, how management teams pitch public market investors, and how feedback from the roadshow turns into a book of demand. Alaoui also explains how banks, issuers, and investors work toward the final IPO price, how allocation decisions are made, and why the tradeoff between price, pop, and long-term shareholder quality matters. Drawing on experience across major fintech and crypto-adjacent public market debuts, including Coinbase, Robinhood, Circle, and Bullish, Alaoui shows how an IPO is not just a capital raise, but a market-entry process that shapes a company’s life as a public company.

Joe Gawronski, CEO of Rosenblatt Securities, joins The Pop to discuss how the end-to-end IPO process actually works, from the decision to go public through filing through pricing, allocation, trading, and beyond. We cover why companies go public, how the banking syndicate, roadshow, and bookbuilding work, and how investor mix and allocation shape the aftermarket, along with the tension between a successful deal on paper and a healthy public company over time.
