Choosing how to fund a company’s next phase of growth is rarely straightforward. Against a backdrop of changing regulations, tariffs and business conditions, leaders must weigh public markets against private funding and strategic alternatives. Whichever route they take, preparation begins early: refining the equity story, understanding investor expectations and building relationships that can support their ambitions.
In this episode, Silvia Scherer of Aptissen SA, Jannis Fischer of Positrigo AG, Patrick Loepfe of GenTwo, Hernán Levett of BioVersys AG and Bernhard Drüner of Carvolution | Das Auto-Abo. share their perspectives on financing growth and preparing for an IPO. They explore the choices facing growing businesses, why the IPO journey starts well before a transaction and how an investment bank can help connect a company’s story with the right investors.
