Description
The Lazy CEO Podcast featured Jim Schleckser, the host and founder of the CEO Project, in a conversation with Peter Goldstein from Exchange Listing. They discussed the process of going public, specifically focusing on Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). Peter, with 35 years of entrepreneurial experience, highlighted the accessibility of IPOs for small and medium-sized companies, dispelling the myth that only unicorns can list on major exchanges. They delved into the advantages of going public, such as increased access to venture capital, liquidity, and a broader investor base. Peter emphasized that IPOs are not exclusive to high-profile companies and provided insights into the changing dynamics of the investment community, with retail investors playing a significant role in public offerings. Discussing the timeline for going public, Peter suggested a preparation period of 12 to 18 months, starting with a financial audit and the establishment of a well-regulated financial system. He emphasized the importance of having a strategic roadmap in place before embarking on the IPO journey.
