The Evolving Capital Markets
Because emerging companies are no longer able to successfully IPO as a small cap stock in a public marketplace reserved for matured larger cap companies, the public markets are failing America’s greatest growth companies and leaving investors with fewer opportunities for impressive appreciation.
What has historically been NASDAQ’s most crucial function, incubating young companies to enormous success, is today being replaced by the private markets. The same principles and innovation that once propelled NASDAQ to unforeseen heights is now fueling the private company marketplace as an aggressive new generation of technology companies, able to create value far faster than was ever possible before, remain private longer.
TSLCC is part of an overall effort to help rebuild a damaged capital markets system via the inclusion of a marketplace that draws shareholders not traders and encourages growth not speculation so that emerging companies will once again be able to innovate, expand, compete and hire.
Synchronously, the U.S. regulatory environment, its capital markets and the innovation that drives those markets are on the threshold of dramatic change. In this remarkable moment in history, we are witnessing the embryonic period of a cutting-edge stock market just as we usher in a new era of mass media. At the same time, new legislation aimed at facilitating capital formation and job creation is being introduced to support this modern infrastructure.
TSLCC is an unparalleled educational and networking platform that provides attendees with insight into the direction of the U.S. capital markets during this period of regulatory transformation and the rapid progression of the developing ecosystem. Furthermore, TSLCC introduces the investing community to the key players shaping this growing marketplace including the private shares desks, private exchange platforms, secondary share buyers, private stock analysts and senior executives of this market’s potential bellwether companies so that they may learn how to successfully transact and maximize returns in this new paradigm.
