[RADIONICA] Road to market

You're thinking about growth, investors (VC/PE funds) or stock exchanges (IPO), but you don't know what the first step is?

Many businesses, especially family businesses, start to ask themselves at some stage of development:

  • How to finance the next growth phase without over-borrowing
  • whether IPO, VC/PE investment or any other option is more realistic for them;
  • what it means in practice to professionalise management before entering the market
  • How to Avoid Expensive Mistakes and Unrealistic Expectations

If you find yourself in these questions, Workshop PutMarket offers concrete answers first-hand and based on real-life experiences.

What will you get by participating in the workshop?

At the workshop you will, through the real experiences of the company and the perspective of the capital market partners:

  • learn about the different models of financing growth – from VC/PE investments to the public offering of shares (IPO);
  • understand how in practice the path from business growth to investor involvement or exiting the stock exchange looks like,
  • gain a more realistic sense of what it means to professionalise management before market financing;
  • find out what mistakes and unrealistic expectations most often occur in entrepreneurs at different stages of development,
  • meet sandbox PutNaMarket as a first, informative step to assess funding opportunities.

Experiences come from different scales and stages of development – from a family business that has been listed (ING-GRAD) to a company that has accelerated growth through VC/PE financing (Hypefy World), with an additional partner perspective sandboxes (legal, audit, investment and banking professionals).

Who is the workshop for?

  • Entrepreneurs planning growth,
  • owners and management of family businesses,
  • companies considering IPO, VC/PE or not sure what is realistic for them;
  • Anyone who wants to understand the options before making decisions.
