In a recent blog post, Katipult explained why it decided to list shares in a public offer. Katipult stated;
“While many startups may be viewing an IPO as an exit strategy, we believe accessing the public markets are part of a prudent growth strategy. We believe this approach will build on our competitive advantages and bring in a diverse investor base all looking to participate in our company successes going forward.”
Katipult said it is looking to provide investors an opportunity to support the company at a much earlier stage of growth and thus potentially far higher returns.
