IPOs have struggled through most of 2020, due to the global pandemic.
April and May saw a 67% decrease in IPO proceeds.
Many business owners were hesitant to trust the public markets for a while.
Fall 2020 has seen a nice rally in the tech IPO market, however.
We had a Palantir IPO and the biggest software IPO of all time in Snowflake Inc.
(NASDAQ: SNOW).

Two of the most highly-anticipated tech IPOs in 2020 began trading on the New York Stock Exchange Sept.
30 (Wednesday).
Palantir (NYSE: PLTR) and Asana (NYSE: ASAN) both went the direct listing route, which means they made existing shares tradeable on the public market rather than creating new ones.
Palantir and Asana are both seen as Silicon Valley “unicorns”, but there are stark differences between the two, as far as what they do, how developed they are, and which is the better buy for investors.

Hyliion stock will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange Friday, Oct.
2.
The company is merging with Tortoise Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: SHLL) after a vote by SHLL shareholders on Monday, Sept.
28.
Tortoise Acquisition is up 370% since its IPO in June, from $10 to $47.
The Hyliion reverse merger is big news in the SPAC world, only weeks after Nikola stock fell from grace.
Initially, Nikola traded for $73, but it has since dropped to $19 after rumors of fraud by CEO Trevor Milton.
This might have many investors second-guessing electric vehicle stocks – and the whole Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) model of investment.
But just because Nikola appears to be a dud right now, does not mean there aren't still huge opportunities for stocks in this field.
Hyliion is quite a different animal from Nikola in almost every respect.
Today, you're going to see why and whether or not you should buy it.
