DIRECT PUBLIC OFFERINGS
A Direct Public Offering (DPO) allows a company to sell its shares directly to the public without using underwriters or investment banks. This approach often reduces costs, gives the company more control over pricing and marketing, and allows it to build a stronger, more engaged investor community.
DPOs typically involve an S-1 registration and may result in trading on OTC, Nasdaq, or NYSE. DPOs can be especially attractive for mission-driven or early-stage companies seeking capital while avoiding the complexity and expense of a traditional IPO.
