Meraki Partners, LLC
Go public by direct listing, initial public offering or reverse merger.
We've helped companies of all sizes go public, including startups with no revenue to companies with millions in revenue. Every company has a different set of circumstances, strategies and long-term objectives that determine whether a direct listing, reverse merger or initial public offering is the best way to go public. When we partner with an entrepreneur, we usually take their company public through a direct listing, but we can help larger companies IPO directly onto a senior stock exchange.
Go public following the same rules and regulations of an IPO, but without the need for an investment banking firm. A direct listing is suitable for companies of various sizes and stages. This is the path if you aren't ready for an IPO, have plans to accelerate organic growth and complete acquisitions, but want to eventually up-listing to a senior stock exchange. Entrepreneurs can generally start this process for $50,000 to $60,000.
Merge your private company into a publicly listed one. At closing, your management, shareholders, and directors take complete control. It is suitable for companies that need a relatively quick way to go public to capitalize on investor interest or to complete acquisitions. The typical cost to acquire control of a "shell" and for professional fees to close a transaction starts at $450,000. Start this process for $50,000.
Go public on NASDAQ or NYSE, with capital raised through an investment banker. It is best for companies that have a seasoned management team, significant business traction, and are ready to raise capital to accelerate organic growth and/or complete acquisitions. It typically costs $600,000+ to reach the point where an investment banker can raise funds in a public offering. Entrepreneurs can start this process for $50,000 to $60,000.
