Example:
Let’s take a quick look at one of the most recent companies that are about to go public: Our feature company, The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings (TGOD) raised $112 million of which included $55 million from Aurora Cannabis. With Aurora having a big stake in The Green Organic Dutchman you can bet that they will have lots of oversight and provide guidance as they ramp up. This will be both beneficial and difficult for them. Beneficial as they will likely be able to go over unknown issues with ease and guidance. It may be difficult to adjust to having to cater to someone else's demands and priorities that may not align with what the company was prior to it’s IPO. Obviously, The Green Organic Dutchman will have ultimately decided to go forward with the IPO as the pros outweigh the cons in its case. The funds acquired in going public will allow them to expand their facilities and their situation allow for synergies in working with Aurora Cannabis.
Green Organic Dutchman Holdings CEO Rob Anderson has said: “This is a synergistic partnership that will help TGOD reach an international audience with its premium products and rapidly capture market share in this incredibly dynamic market, and will provide further differentiation and diversification to Aurora’s product offering,”
What are some of the signs
that a company might go public?
Management changes: If you recognize that there are sudden management changes within the company and more so specifically if any of these new senior members have a track record of
working with public companies
or especially taking them from
private to the public then this
would be something to take note of.
