📊#MarketRoundup: Platform launches first individual IPO in Brazil About a month ago, Guga Stocco, a Brazilian investor and co-founder of venture capital firms DOMO.VC Invest and Futurum Capital, debuted as the first individual public offering on an experimental platform called Genezys. ♟️State of play: The platform is a joint venture between the startup of the same name and Legacy Inc., an investee of the Grupo Fictor, which vaguely presents itself as an “innovation company” focused on “high-reaching markets, such as technology, sport, and education,” but in practice is the bridge connecting the new platform to celebrities, as it works mainly with the entertainment industry. 💡Why it matters: It’s a new way for celebrities to capitalize on their fame. While for fans (and investors), it’s a new way to interact with their idols and people they admire. But it’s also a business where the design and success of each offering will be very particular. 🔗Read more in our full article by Fabiane Ziolla Menezes here 👇 https://lnkd.in/de_ZF2hi #IPOs #BrazilianBusiness #Investment #VentureCapital #BrazilianReport #StockMarket #Economy #Business

During the last few weeks, I have seen so many folks on #LinkedIn speak about the Omega Files released by Blume Ventures (https://lnkd.in/giHQSrer). I would recommend that practicing venture capital transactions lawyers read both the presentation, as well as this detailed interview by ET Prime (https://lnkd.in/gZpnB98f) with Karthik B. Reddy. Since lawyers on this platform are always harping on being "commercially savvy", I can't think of too many better materials for lawyers to understand the economics and mechanics of the venture capital industry. p.s. I don't know any of the team members at Blume, and my firm has not represented them ever. This was just me recommending what I felt was a good read! #venturecapital #omegafiles #blumeventures
