History

Historical Context

Founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, Amazon went public on May 15 1997 at $18 per share, raising $54 million; its rapid gains helped launch the late-1990s dot-com boom that later collapsed. SpaceX’s 2024 post-IPO slide echoes that pattern, prompting investors and Nasdaq to reconsider regulatory and future listing standards for speculative aerospace firms.
