Retail investors lose money on hyped IPOs due to inability to accurately assess pre-IPO valuations and market sentiment

Retail investors are desperately trying to participate in high-growth opportunities like AI IPOs but lack reliable tools to evaluate whether IPO prices are justified or overheated. They face massive information asymmetry compared to institutional investors, resulting in catastrophic losses (32%+ drops) even when demand appears overwhelming (400x oversubscription). Current financial analysis tools and brokerages fail to provide early warning signals about valuation disconnects from fundamentals.
