Everyone talks about the Magnificent 7, but I'm more interested in companies that haven't gone public yet.

If you had to choose one private company that is likely to IPO within the next 5 years and hold it for 10+ years, which would you pick and why?

Some names that come to mind:

Stripe

Databricks

Canva

OpenAI

Chime

Discord

I'm not looking for the most hyped company. I'm looking for businesses with:

Strong competitive moats

Large addressable markets

A realistic path to profitability

Long-term growth potential

Which company do you think could become the next major public-market winner, and what is the biggest risk investors might be overlooking?
