This study aims to determine the effect and correlation of venture capital (VC), underwriter's reputation, auditor's reputation, and ex-ante uncertainty factors (firm age, offer price, firm size, lag days and offer risk) toward the initial return of technology-based company IPOs on Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The data used in the research are IPOs from tech companies that go public on Nasdaq and NYSE stock markets from 2009 - 2019. This research used the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method with robustness checking as an analysis tool for hypotheses testing. The results obtained in this study indicate that VC, underwriter's reputation, offer price, and offer risk have a positive impact on IPO underpricing. While the auditor's reputation and firm size factor significantly have a negative correlation to the initial return of the tech companies' IPO on Nasdaq and NYSE. The other variables, firm age and lag days, do not affect the initial return of IPO technology-based companies.
