🥃 Spirits Capital Files for $6M IPO - An Interesting Play in Fintech and Whiskey Spirits Capital, a pre-revenue fintech that's diving into the whiskey world, just filed to raise $6 million in an IPO. It’s a fascinating mix of industries - combining fintech innovation with premium American whiskey investments. They’ve got three subsidiaries that are each tackling different parts of the whiskey market, from selling cask investment deeds to creating a digital marketplace for spirits trading. Now, here’s where things get interesting: they haven’t booked any revenue yet. The question is, how do you feel about a company aiming for a Nasdaq listing with no income on the books? It’s definitely a bold move, but the combination of fintech and whiskey might just catch the eye of a niche investor group. The idea of tokenizing whiskey barrels and creating a platform for seamless, transparent trading is intriguing - but as with all new ideas, execution is everything. #IPO #Fintech #Whiskey #Nasdaq #Microcap #Investing #Tech #Innovation #SpiritsCapital https://lnkd.in/dFB9i4yk
