Book excerpt: A tragic accident. An opportunistic CEO. A shocking announcement at the opening of a bizarre new stock market. Seven year-old Ryan Tyler, Jr. has just been adopted. By a corporation. Ticker symbol RTJ is the initial public offering on James Prescott's Avillage Exchange, a market that trades in the financial futures of exceptionally gifted orphans. Before the brilliant first-grader has even had a chance to catch his breath, he is whisked off to live with seemingly perfect new parents he's not sure he can trust. And he's got a sinking feeling that the only ally he has from his previous life is somehow conspiring with the corporation. With Prescott and a board of directors pulling strings behind the scenes, Ryan's only chance at freeing himself from his shareholders may be to team up with his fellow Avillage orphans: an embittered computer-programming savant, a once-in-a-generation NBA prospect, and a show-stopping Latin American model. Koontz's fast-paced yet introspective writing style is sure to keep your mind whirring and the pages turning, right to the explosive final page.

Book excerpt: WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER From the cofounder of a $40 billion software company comes an invaluable guide packed with $1 trillion worth of advice from some of the world’s most successful and recognizable entrepreneurs. Over the past 20 years, first as an early employee at Salesforce and later as a cofounder of Okta (a publicly traded software company now valued at over $40 billion), Frederic Kerrest has met the most successful entrepreneurs and investors in Silicon Valley and beyond. He’s discussed every angle of entrepreneurship with them—what works, what doesn’t, and what to do when things get rough—and he’s taken notes. The result is this unmatched blueprint for building and growing a business, drawn from his own experience as well as that of his fellow visionaries and business leaders, who have collectively built over $1 trillion worth of wealth for themselves and their investors. They include Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz (Andreessen Horowitz), Eric Yuan (Zoom), Stewart Butterfield (Slack), Aneel Bhusri (Workday), Julia Hartz (Eventbrite), Aaron Levie (Box), Fred Luddy (ServiceNow), Melanie Perkins (Canva), Patty McCord (Netflix), Sebastian Thrun (Udacity), and dozens of other luminaries. These ideas and practices aren’t taught in business schools. They’ve been learned the hard way, through trial and error in the real world of business. Kerrest has battle-tested them himself, so he knows their power. Organized by topic in roughly the order that leaders will encounter them as they scale their businesses, this book is the ultimate guide to taking a company all the way from founding to IPO—and beyond.

Download or read book Going Public written by Dakin Campbell and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A behind-the-scenes tour of the high-stakes world of IPOs and how a visionary band of startup executives, venture capitalists, and maverick bankers has launched a crusade to upend the traditional IPO as we know it. GOING PUBLIC is a character-driven narrative centered on the last five years of unparalleled change in how technology startups sell shares to the public. Initial public offerings, or IPOs, are typically the first time retail investors can own a piece of the New Economy companies promising to rewire economic rules. Selling IPOs is also one of the most profitable businesses for Wall Street investment banks, who have spent the last 40 years protecting their profits. In an era when algorithms and software have made the financial markets more efficient, the pricing of IPOs still relies on human judgment. In 2018, executives at music-streaming service Spotify sought to upend the status quo. Led by a trim and understated CFO, Barry McCarthy, and a shy but brilliant founder, Daniel Ek, they took a wild idea and forged something new. GOING PUBLIC explores how they got comfortable with the risk, and how they lobbied securities watchdogs and exchange staff to rewrite the regulations. Readers will meet executives at disruptive companies like Airbnb, DoorDash, venture capitalists, and even some bankers who seized on Spotify’s labor and used it to knock Wall Street bankers off the piles of fees they’d been stacking for so long. GOING PUBLIC weaves in earlier attempts to rethink the IPO process, introducing readers to one of Silicon Valley’s earliest bankers, Bill Hambrecht, whose invention for selling shares online was embraced by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they auctioned their shares in 2004. And it examines the recent boom in blank-check companies, those Wall Street insider deals that have suddenly become the hottest way to enter the public markets. GOING PUBLIC tells stories from inside the room, and more.

Download or read book The IPO Business of German Discount Brokers written by Sido Schrom and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2001-07-10 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Entwicklungen in jüngerer Vergangenheit zeigen, dass deutsche Discount Broker ihre Produktpalette gezielt erweitern und ihren Kunden verstärkt Zugang zu Neuemissionen (IPOs) bieten, nicht zuletzt um ihre starke Marktposition in Europa zu wahren. So übernehmen die Broker Aufgaben im Neuemissionsgeschäft, sei es als Verkaufsagent oder als Mitglied in Übernahmekonsortien (Underwriter). Discount Broker betreten damit Neuland in einem Wirtschaftszweig, der bisher fast ausschließlich von Investmentbanken dominiert worden ist. Somit scheint sich eine neue Sorte von Investmentbanken zu entwickeln und die Vorherrschaft privilegierter Institutionen im Neuemissionsgeschäft aufzuweichen. Vor diesem Hintergrund möchte die vorliegende Arbeit auf das aufkommende Segment des Neuemissionsgeschäfts der führenden deutschen Discount Broker eingehen und objektiv beschreiben. Durchführung und Strategien im Neuemissionsgeschäft der Direct Broker werden im Detail betrachtet. Die Untersuchung beschränkt sich dabei auf die drei Marktführer im discount broking: ConSors Discount-Broker AG, Comdirect AG and Direkt Anlage Bank AG. Zwischen Anfang September und Ende November 2000 haben die drei Brokerhäuser ihren Einstieg ins Neuemissionsgeschäft offiziell angekündigt. ConSors entschied sich, eine eigene Investment Bank zu gründen ( do-it-yourself approach ) und Comdirect zieht Nutzen aus der Unterstützung durch die Mutter Commerzbank ( piggy-back approach ), aber erhebt Anspruch auf Führungsmandate bei Neuemissionen infolge des Aufbaus eines eigenen Geschäftsbereichs Investmentbanking. DAB beschloss hingegen strategische Partnerschaften einzugehen ( tie-up approach ), um die Chancen zu erhöhen, bei Neuemissionen berücksichtigt zu werden, ohne sich dabei jedoch selbst zur Investmentbank zu entwickeln. Die drei Discount Brokers treten üblicherweise als Verkaufsagenten auf, planen jedoch ehrgeizig in absehbarer Zeit Co-Underwriting- und Führungsmandate bei Neuemissionen zu erhalten; die Broker würden dann die Bezeichnung Investmentbank rechtfertigen. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die Frage, ob zur Zeit tatsächlich eine neue Generation von Investmentbanken entsteht, hinreichend zu beantworten. Der Autor ist zuversichtlich, dass die Broker in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Marktlage mittel- bis langfristig gute Chancen mit ihrem Neuemissionsgeschäft haben und sich als Nischen-Investmentbank etablieren [...]
