Private companies have multiple options for providing liquidity for their investors. Whether a company’s goal is to go public, be acquired, or enter into one or more strategic partnerships, having a clearly articulated story and recognition among investors is important for maximizing valuation or setting the stage for the next financing. As a result, private companies should make it a priority to generate awareness and interest among public and private institutional investors, sell-side equity research analysts, and investment bankers.
When it comes to IPOs, investors prefer to have met the company more than once before the IPO roadshow. The more familiarity investors have with a company’s assets and management team, the better equipped they are to make investment decisions.

- IPO readiness assessment
