In this episode of Tech IPO Conversations, Lucas and Luna explore a fresh trend among post-IPO tech companies: issuing green and sustainability-linked bonds. They discuss why companies like Rivian and Beyond Meat are turning to ESG debt to fund growth without diluting shareholders, and how investor appetite for these bonds is reshaping capital markets. The hosts reference recent market data showing Rivian's stock at $16.76 (down 0.5% over five days) and broader tech selloffs, and tie in a TechCrunch headline about AI companies racing to go public. Specific examples include Rivian's $1.5 billion green bond issued in 2025 and Beyond Meat's sustainability-linked bond. Lucas and Luna debate whether these bonds are genuine commitments or marketing tools, and how they affect post-IPO balance sheets.
