Great article from The Information. 2024 should present ample opportunities for private firms to reach the public markets — so long as they heeded the lessons of the past year. Artificial growth fueled by burning cash is out. Sustainable business models providing tangible benefits is (and always has been) the only enduring means of shareholder value creation.

For all the questions surrounding business, valuation and profitability of #mamaearth on its IPO, a few things are also remarkable about this D2C company IPO. 1. It's first new gen D2C brand to get listed, which will encourage many other domestic brands to follow the suit. 2. Probably it's the fastest to come up with an IPO in 2023 from Series A round in 2018, in just 5 years. If it could have done last year, it would have taken just 4 years. 3. The gains made by its investors starting from Fireside, Titan Capital, Stellaris, Sequoia, Sofina etc. ranges from 3X to 100X. Fireside which backed it from its first round makes around 44X, while friends at Titan Capital make around 100X (at current listing price). This also gives a message to investors and VCs that when you want to back a company, back it fully and continue to hold sizeable stake to get the multiplier effect if the Company does well. #ipo #d2c #valuation #startups #investment #funding

Interesting article on the IPO Landscape with comments from Laurence A. Tosi. Until capital loosens up more there is going to be a major focus on profitability. We should start to see a resurgence of IPOs in the first half, but like 2023, only spins and high quality mature private companies will get interest to start. In the meantime, it’s the perfect time for late stage companies to refine their equity story and work on IPO readiness to be prepared when the window cracks open. #capitalmarkets #ipo #privatemarkets #investorrelations #iporeadiness

There are signs that the IPO market could be coming back to life. Here are the 11 top contenders that could go public in 2024.

💰What to Do if your Company is Losing Money? 💰 Sell a dream, and IPO your company! When you do not have sufficient money to lose, you IPO your company, take investors’ money to become rich first, burn 🔥 the cash, and hopefully some day the company will make it. IPO (Initial Public Offering) is a process where the seller (ie. company) knows more than the buyer, and wealth is transferred from the buyer (know less) to the seller (know more). Of all things you can pick in the stock exchange, you have to pick one where there is high risk and possibly no returns. "An IPO situation more closely approximates a negotiated deal. I mean, the seller decides when to come to market in most cases. And they don't pick a time necessarily that's good for you. ... It is more of a negotiated sale. And negotiated transactions are very hard to get bargains.” ~ Warren Buffett. #IPO #ValueInvestingAcademy #valueinvesting #stocks #GrowviaViA
