Grant Becker Associates Looking to Improve Access to Private IPO

The IPO market is one of the world’s most popular avenues for investors seeking to make a big return. But the ability of even well-heeled investors to obtain pre-IPO shares has proved an elusive proposition for many.

Underwriters at investment banks are notorious for allocating blocks of IPO shares to preferred clients, especially those associated with hot name companies. At the same time, employees of pre-IPO businesses seeking liquidity on their shares ahead of a public offering usually have to negotiate with company founders or board members who are often reluctant to change the make-up of their shareholder “cap table”, until now. Enter Grant Becker Associates, a Brussels-based company that’s connecting accredited investors seeking to buy stock in the next Facebook with company shareholders seeking to cash out their shares ahead of an IPO.

"We democratize pre-IPO investing, giving accredited retail investors access they have never had before to the private markets," said Pascal De Becker, chief executive officer of Grant Becker Associates.

The Brussels-based company has already carried out millions of dollars of pre-IPO transactions. So far, Grant Becker Associates has made available shares in premier name private companies like Alibaba and Pinterest and other companies, like Xiaomi and Axovant, which are ongoing, De Becker said.

"We don't recommend one company over another. We aggregate public information about companies, including a reconstructed cap table, information on recent funding rounds and prices and review it before making an informed decision," he said.

Grant Becker Associates is a leading provider of alternative asset investments. A Belgium based firm with an international outlook, Grant Becker provides the expertise and guidance investors and corporations need to succeed in a world setting.
