Helping Venture-Backed Startups and Venture Capital Funds find liquidity and alternative financing through a robust public markets strategy

The State of Venture Capital

The 2023 and 2024 economic downturn has forced Venture Capital to make significant cuts and become more selective at how they are deploying capital. Many companies are struggling to raise additional rounds of capital and companies that are unprepared are facing liquidity and cash flow issues.

Venture Capital funds need alternative exits for portfolio companies doing well but are unable to raise an additional round of capital due to market conditions.

Listed Ventures helps companies develop an alternative financial strategy by identifying opportunities to become a publicly traded company through M&A with a publicly traded company, reverse merger, or direct listing.
