Everyone highlights the “success” of the IPO because a certain amount of money was raised, but few look at the after effect of these “lawful but awful” deals. OTC Markets Group analyzed what actually occurred: Of the 91 small/micro cap (sub $300m) US exchange listings in 2022: *Average market cap on day 1 of $213 million. Day 28 was $102 million. *Current average sits below $60 million *Average total return of minus 65% *More than half had to reverse split either to qualify or maintain the listing *Two thirds of these deals included banker warrants How does this happen? *A small group of conflicted investment banks, lawyers, and advisors looking for financial transactions to monetize are pitching a false narrative in the small and micro cap space. *These firms are selling companies on listing on an exchange when it is too early, not appropriate, or will harm existing shareholders. *Using the glamour of an exchange listing to hide the financial engineering and destructive nature of the transactions. *“hucksters” that sell the promise of an exchange IPO that are really destroying the company for their own financial benefit.
Thank you Andrew Dix from Crowdfund Insider for covering this important story. We all want to see early stage venture companies succeed. However, there is an ecosystem of bankers and advisors that prey on unsophisticated founder CEOs. It’s important to call out the abuse and help to educate the market. There is a better way!!

"Just Because You Can? Doesn't Mean You Should!" Don't let your so called "advisors" (you know the guys you're paying) -- whisper in your ear and convince you to do things that are in THEIR better interests! If you go public too early you may be FORCED into a down round -- and Jason Paltrowitz has the math to back that up. Remember: Lawyers are JUST vendors -- and often with NO money back guarantee. The future is "Private eXecution" and Silicon Prairie "SPPX" Alternative Trading System can be your on-ramp to the OTC Markets when you're actually ready! We can offer you and your investors a PRIVATE trading venue with no trade reporting required for your restricted securities which means you can protect your market cap ! Also, we do not allow short sales and have built the most founder friendly trading engine in existence: YOU control who is allowed to sell and who is allowed to buy! This means enforcing a ROFR or "Right Of First Refusal" to buy back your securities if you want to, but ALSO means making sure your crazy cousin or that activist investor does not get onto your cap table! "The Silicon Prairie : Where Good Ideas Grow!" #GoPublic #SecondaryMarket #PrivateExecution #sppx #thelittleduke

🚀 Raising Capital Made Accessible 🚀 I am excited to share a fantastic interview with Dalmore Group Chairman, Etan Butler and Jane King of Nasdaq This interview sheds light on the powerful solution of online capital raising that is transforming the fundraising environment. Our technology and broker-dealer support allows for seed startups, late-stage ventures, funds, and real estate platforms to embed an Invest Button directly on their website, allowing a broad range of investors to participate. Through Regulation CF, A , or D, entrepreneurs are now exploring new avenues to secure funding. What's truly remarkable is how these options enable your customers and community, both accredited and non-accredited, to participate in offerings that were once exclusive to institutional investors. It can be a game-changer for businesses of all sizes, fostering a more inclusive approach to raising capital. #crowdfunding #onlineinvesting

Talking to a founder recently and he brought up this article (https://lnkd.in/grem6uQq) from Elad Gil, which definitely gels with my experience! As a founder, you aren't trying to create a negotiation dynamic, where you state a high number and they come back with a lower number. Instead, you are trying to create an auction dynamic "where VCs will start to bid against each other and drive up the value." Start at a reasonable level and get the investors emotionally engaged, then create tension, and you can create a better outcome for yourself and others!
Don't Ask For Too Much Money
