WHAT COMPANIES ON THE #IPOREADY PROGRAMME SAID
“#IPOready was instrumental to our fund raising efforts. It gave us a deep insight into the funding ecosystem and helped us to craft an investor pitch with the correct value proposition for our strategic partners. I would recommend #IPOready to every company looking to raise strategic finance.”
DAVID WALSH, ceo, netwatch systems
"IPOs are often seen as an option for the big companies - #IPOready dispelled that myth for me. One of the best aspects of the programme was getting the insights of founders who brought their companies to the market and getting their perspective on how it delivered and continues to deliver to their capital needs."
Eoin GOULDING, ceo, integrity360
