Also, next week I will write an article on reverse mergers, which I predict will become a much more common form of financing for high-tech companies. In most PIPE transactions the selling company gets the money upon closing. The investor is locked up until the stock is registered. This is inaccurate. Private placements are alternative investments to the public market.
Private placements can be an excellent vehicle for companies to raise cash.
It is imperative, however, that the company understand what type of deal structure and investor is best for it.
