Most of us have probably seen the hype and news associated with a company going public. If you’re like me, you may have wondered why you’ve never had the opportunity to participate where the real money is made, buying or owning a company’s shares BEFORE they’re available to the general public. If this interests you, keep reading; I’m going to give you an opportunity to do just that!
When entrepreneurs have a great idea, they typically form a company using their own funds along with money from friends, family, and colleagues. All these people are the initial, private shareholders. As the company is attempting to develop, market, and sell its product or service, there may be years of unprofitability. So, company management will again go out to friends, family, and colleagues, and others to raise more money by again, selling private shares.
The problem with this method of raising money is, it’s very slow and inefficient. Think about Starbucks, who operates about 30,000 stores worldwide. If the founders had to continually go out to their personal and private networks to raise money every time they wanted to open a new store, none of us would have ever heard of Starbucks.
Owning private shares of a company that might go public someday, disrupt an entire industry, and make you lots of money in the blink of an eye is mostly a matter of luck; you have to know someone, be at the right place at the right time, or perhaps work on Wall Street.
I managed to become a private shareholder for all the reasons I just mentioned (except working on Wall Street) and now you can too. On Monday April 29 at 4:00 p.m. PDT, please join me, at the meeting link below, in a conversation with Brendon Lundberg, CEO and co-founder of Radiant Health Management Corporation.
