Webinar: Prepare Your Startup for a Successful IPO: Pros, Cons and Where

Is an IPO the right next step for your startup — and what does it really take to get there?

For many founders, an IPO represents a major milestone: access to public capital, increased visibility, and a potential exit opportunity. However, going public also brings significant challenges, from regulatory requirements and transparency obligations to long-term strategic trade-offs.

Join this online education session, co-hosted with Eversheds Sutherland, where you will learn useful tips, practices and opportunities when working towards an IPO, and how to adopt them to your own startup journey.

The goal of many startup founders is an IPO, but besides fame, possibilty to raise equity capital from public investors and an exit option, an IPO also comes with many challenges. In the United States, startups go public much earlier in comparison to other countries, and often trends starting in the US take some time to become well established in Europe. Will we see an increase in the number of startups reaching IPO in our region, and will you be among this next wave of successful companies?
