A public company means anyone can buy shares and its pretty much open to scrutiny ect, but more potential investors

A private one doesnt have to share everything since they arent public and have a handful of investors

At least I think so? I learned watching succession

I personally think it's because regulatory and compliance reasons. The regulations these days are quite strict and rigid and these days. Startups especially Tech startups can raise massive amounts of private capital through venture capital , private equity, and even late-stage funding rounds. Just look at Stripe, SpaceX, and Canva. They raised billions privately.

no clue.. I'm way too unintelligent for this.

I'm guessing there's just more upsides in private markets than public ones, atleast that would be the simple anwser

Scale. Most sectors are filled to the brim with mega players who can flood the market with low priced products/services. If there is no price regulation, new players are hesitant to go big. China has pretty much the opposite case, since even in the automotive sector they have boatloads of companies, not to mention the dozens of companies in other sectors pumping out low priced goods. Too much of that and you have a deflationary pressure which leads to wage downgrowth spiral. Most economies want people to spend so this deflationary pressure aint good. The companies who do go public basically pass the test of medium term reliability.

Maybe the ones that cross that threshold range where they can think about going public, get hunted by a small number of huge sharks that'll provide sufficient funding

I think this applies more to private equity has been erased. The same market dynamics that make IPOs risky hyper competition, saturated make it much harder for private equity firms to generate strong returns. PE thrives on buying undervalued companies, restructuring them and selling them for profi but when margins are squeezed by mega players flooding the market with low priced goods there's less room to maneuver.
