Restart or adjust your IPO path from Yas Island, Abu Dhabi
You started moving toward a US listing. Now you need a clear way to fix gaps, reset expectations, and decide if IPO, direct listing, or private capital is best.
Market windows shift fast, and early IPO moves can lock in weak terms. A reset now can improve venue choice, governance, and your equity story before facing US investors and regulators.
FAQ
We started IPO prep but paused. Can you help restart it?
Yes. We review what was done, what changed in your business and in the market, and then propose a revised path: continue IPO, switch to direct listing, or return to private capital.
Our last advisors pushed for their own agenda. How are you different?
Advisory is founder aligned. No board seats, equity or governance rights are requested. The focus is on your options, trade‑offs and timing, not on forcing a specific transaction.
We already hired banks and lawyers. Is it too late to involve you?
No. We can join mid‑process. We review term sheets, listing options and investor story, then suggest adjustments that fit within what your banks and lawyers are already doing.
Can you help if we are unsure about the right exchange now?
Yes. We compare Nasdaq Capital/Global Market, NYSE and NYSE American. We look at size, sector, liquidity needs and governance, then outline pros and cons in simple language.
Our equity story is messy after pivots. What can you do?
We rebuild the narrative. We link your past, current model and AI/fintech roadmap into one clear story, with simple metrics and examples that public investors can understand.
We worry our governance is not ready. Where do you start?
We run a quick gap check: board structure, committees, reporting, controls and disclosure habits. Then we give a short list of fixes that can be done before or during the listing path.
Can you help if we decide to delay or cancel the IPO?
Yes. We reassess capital needs and timing. We can pivot to private rounds, strategic investors or a later direct listing, using the work already done so it is not wasted.
We are a MENA fintech with AI focus. Is a US listing realistic?
Often yes, but it depends. We look at jurisdiction, structure, data rules and investor appetite for your segment. Then we outline what must change to be credible on a US exchange.
