Going public via IPOs, the holy grail

Mindhub Ventures, the technological ecosystem, was thrilled to host the webinar titled “From Traditional to Transformative: New Fundraising Trends and the Ecosystem” on July 12, 2023. During the webinar, Ruth Palmon, Managing Partner in Mindhub Ventures, discussed the pros and cons of going public via IPOs, the holy grail.

Why would a company consider going through IPOs

1. Funding – there is a lot of money in the security exchange. Once you have met the promises you made to your investors, it is relatively easy to get more funding for the company.

2. Employees – companies are always looking for the best employees. A public company can attract and retain top-tier employees more effectively and offer them stock options that are liquid.

3. Visibility – as a small private company, it is more challenging to sell core business solutions for corporations and governments. Once you become public, you have more credibility.

4. It is possible to buy companies via stock swap – this is another kind of coin to buy companies with.

5. Liquidity – investors and founders can meet the money, without losing control.

IPOs are back and mature companies should consider this option. Companies that are mature and ready to expand to new and non-traditional markets such as the UAE and Kazakhstan as a basis to do IPOs. Companies that have strategic focus on those regions will receive strong support from the local ecosystem if they consider going public there.
