Our exclusive Blue-Chip Program™ is a comprehensive approach to prepare late-stage companies to become broker-dealer-ready, positioning them for significant capitalization through private or public securities markets. This includes deploying essential technologies to ensure companies can efficiently manage their capital​.
Our Broker-Dealer Readiness Rating System™ is the market's only commercially available benchmark to evaluate businesses against the investment criterion to achieve Broker-Dealer readiness. The resulting Broker-Dealer Readiness Report™ is used to gather “Indications of Interest” from broker-dealers, and provides an actionable guide to improve readiness for substantial capital.
The $3.7 trillion-dollar Problem
The $3.7 trillion capital overhang remains untapped due to insufficient high-quality deal flow to venture capital firms and broker-dealers. Late-stage companies face only a 5.5% chance of securing venture capital, but broker-dealer engagement raises their success rate to 98%. Additionally, issuing hybrid securities through a broker-dealer can save companies tens or even hundreds of millions at exit, making broker-dealers the ideal choice for significant capitalization and financial efficiency.

The IPO Market Endures in the Face of Turbulence
IPOs are still occurring, even while the U.S. dollar is relatively weak and banks are losing deposits to money-market funds. Inflation and supply-chain problems continue to drive up prices across the country. Job reports are also being revised downward. Despite these challenges, such economic conditions can push companies to persevere, seek new opportunities, and launch IPOs to stimulate markets.
Further, the $3.7 trillion in capital overhang provides greater motivation to fuel these offerings.
