The Cherry Ventures CFO Explains Why An IPO at NASDAQ Is No Longer Necessary

# **Why NASDAQ May No Longer Be the Best Choice for a Successful IPO**

Are you considering going public with your tech company and thinking that NASDAQ is the only option for a successful IPO? Think again. In this video, we challenge the default opinion that NASDAQ is the go-to stock exchange for tech companies.

Back in 2014, Oracle appealed to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange for their IPO, a decision that caught the industry by surprise. It was a big statement, as they were one of the first big tech companies to bypass the US stock market and still have a successful IPO.

So, why might NASDAQ no longer be considered the best choice for tech companies looking to go public? In this video, we’ll explore the reasons behind it.

Some of the key points discussed in this video are:

– The advantages and disadvantages of going public in the US versus Europe
– Examples of successful tech IPOs that didn’t take place on NASDAQ
– Trends in global stock markets for tech IPOs

This video is a must-see for anyone who is considering taking their tech company public but wants to learn more about all the options available to them.
