🇺🇲 We are excited to announce our partnership with SoFi to launch DSP2.0, an advanced Directed Share Platform for U.S. IPOs and capital raises, building on PrimaryBid’s landmark community inclusion technology. 🇺🇲 Almost 30 years ago the Boston Beer Company famously unlocked its IPO for customers by putting adverts on its six-packs. The response was huge: 70,000 people sent cheques through the mail, but most couldn’t be included in the final deal. Fast forward to today and not much has changed. We think great technology is the answer, and so SoFi and PrimaryBid have partnered to fix the DSP, upgrading the entire experience for IPOing companies and their investors. Want to learn more? Press release in the comments 👇 Thanks to our new partners at SoFi and many other US advisors along the way.
