In this article, the authors take a closer look at private market capital raising and liquidity transactions that have recently become referred to as “Private IPOs”. They explain what are commonly understood to be the key features of a Private IPO compared to a conventional initial public offering (IPO) and a conventional private placement, analyse why it may be an attractive option in the current market environment, and consider the potential drawbacks associated with it. Finally, the authors “look around the corner” to explore what role Private IPOs might play alongside the existing conventional capital raising and exit strategies.
