Meraki Partners, LLC
Any company of any size can go public. There are no revenue, profit, employee or other traditional business metric requirements to go public. However, it is worth exploring whether a company should go public.
The initial and ongoing time and cost to go public and maintain a public listing needs to be weighed in relation to the benefits. Generally speaking, entrepreneurs that have strong potential organic growth and/or can grow by strategic acquisition are attracted to taking their company public.
We help entrepreneurs develop a go-public strategy, tap into our network to build the professional team, and manage the process to facilitate a direct listing, initial public offering, or reverse merger. Our services help entrepreneurs take their company public so they can complete acquisitions, raise capital, recruit talent and create significant wealth. Connect with us to learn more.
We take companies public through a direct listing so entrepreneurs can acquire private companies, raise capital, attract the best talent, close more deals and significantly increase their valuation.
Who do we serve?
This is for CEOs who want to build a larger and more valuable business. The best candidates are CEOs who are smart, growth-minded and likeable, who run a business that is already profitable. However, we can represent any size company when there are compelling mitigating factors.
How do we help?
We plan every aspect of the direct listing, reverse merger, or IPO process. We leverage our professional network to bring in accountants, auditors, corporate lawyers, securities lawyers, filing agents, transfer agent, market maker, investment banker (for IPOs) and others, and manage all third parties to hit the timeline within budget. We also provide strategic advice on business growth, acquisitions, financing, communications, and more.
Who are we?
Our founder is Joel Arberman who was an analyst for two multi-billion-dollar asset management firms, a top-ranked technology analyst, and partner of a large investment banking firm. Joel has taken four of his early-stage companies public, has facilitated numerous acquisitions and has helped more than a dozen companies go public. His clients have gained more than $11 billion in valuation.
What are the benefits?
Consider going public to more effectively use shares, options and warrants to significantly scale your business. Think of it as a tool that provides for the best growth-hack ever. Here's a few ways smart entrepreneurs can use a public listing to build a significantly more valuable business:
Acquire profitable private companies.
Going public to acquire private companies that are already profitable is the fastest and most reliable way to build a large and valuable business. As a public company, it is easier to source more acquisition opportunities, structure better favorable transaction terms, raise capital to finance the purchase and growth of acquired businesses, and easier to attract the best talent.
Attract, motivate and reward results.
As a public company, it is easier to attract, motivate and reward people through the use of stock options and warrants. This is particularly valuable for industries that rely on building a large independent or commissioned sales force, or for industries where there's strong competition for talent. In addition to the use of stock options for employees, the use of warrants can be extremely valuable when issued as part of a growth strategy to sales, marketing, distribution and business development partners.
Raise capital more efficiently.
When a company has a clear path and timeline to go public by direct listing, reverse merger or IPO, it is faster, easier and less dilutive to raise capital. After a company is publicly traded, it is even faster, easier and less dilutive to raise capital from a larger audience of public debt and equity investors who have interest in wider array of investment structures.
