Aprio Ascend: Episode 8 - Tech Mid-Year Outlook

In this episode of Aprio Ascend, host Jordan Fladell sits down with Simeon Wallis, CFA, Chief Investment Officer at Aprio Wealth Management, and David Siegel, CPA, Aprio's Technology Industry Leader, to unpack a capital markets story that doesn't quite add up. The first half of 2026 broke every venture record on the books, the IPO window has reopened, and M&A activity is at an all-time high, yet many founders say raising a Series A is harder than ever. Tune in for what's really driving the headline numbers, and what they mean for your cap table, your tax structure, and the decisions sitting on the CFO's desk right now.
