Betting on fintech might just be the golden ticket, but gotta wait on the IPO terms.

$WTF could be the sleeper hit of 2024, especially if fintech keeps growing.

IPOs like these help legitimize the company. If they can pull in $40M, that’s a big deal. Could see some action post-IPO if they execute well. 📈
