How do we select companies for Pre-IPO?
There are 7 selection criteria for early and late-stage venture Angel Round and Pre-IPO deals:
- We first look for B-round companies and later. This reduces the possible time to IPO.
- We do not consider companies whose funding round was valued lower than the previous round.
- We require companies to have a capitalization growth rate of at least 0.8% per week. The higher, the better, but 0.8% is the minimum.
- We investigate companies that have already been invested in by 10 or more venture capital funds and try to find at least two well-known venture capital funds. Then, we analyze the statistics of these funds in taking companies public, the time frame of their exits, and the results they achieved. There should be at least two of such funds.
- We study the company and in most cases try to collaborate with it to see if the product works. In this aspect, we look for market leaders with large clients. Good examples are Instacart and BitPay. Instacart’s service was really inconvenient, while BitPay was super simple and honest. We chose BitPay after checking the company based on this factor.
- Business sectors must be the trends of the year. Cryptocurrency, AI, energy, software, automation, robots, etc. Underwriters aggressively conduct IPOs for these sectors in groups. In 2021, pharmaceutical companies specializing in Alzheimer’s disease had 6 IPO deals. Thus, this sector is now finished, and companies have played out the trend. So we look at what the current theme is for 2022-2023 and focus on it, such as crypto lending – ABRA and SaaS – Dataminer, and crypto acquiring and storage – BitPay
- Then we ask our brokers in the US to show us deals after this selection process. Sometimes they offer us possible deals, and sometimes we ask them to find available shares of companies that interest us. This can work in both directions. Sometimes a company’s fundraising goals are met and there are no shares, but our broker will show us the main competitor. This launches the process of searching for shares and negotiating with sellers. Sellers are mainly employees who have worked in these companies for many years and want to buy a house or leave the company. They have an option that we buy out
