What a way to celebrate the end of a successful tenure as an Independent Director! Nasdaq is fortunate to have such strong governance and a highly effective board — something all of our governance solutions clients benefit from as we take what works for the Nasdaq board and bring it out to all of the companies and boards we support. #CorpGov #Nasdaq #NasdaqGovernanceSolutions #BoardofDirectors #IndependentDirector #GoodGovernance

Firefly Aerospace’s recent $175 million Series D funding round, led by RPM Ventures, raises its valuation to over $2 billion and secures its position as a key player in responsive space services. This new capital will scale production of its Alpha launch vehicle, support its upcoming Blue Ghost lunar lander mission with NASA, and expand its Elytra spacecraft market reach. The funding also accelerates the development of hardware for new vehicles, reflecting investor confidence in Firefly’s capabilities. Firefly’s success in the responsive space niche, demonstrated by the rapid-response Victus Nox mission, highlights its operational strength and alignment with government priorities. However, the scalability of this niche warrants scrutiny. While government contracts remain a strong revenue source, Firefly will need to balance operational demands with continuous innovation to compete with larger players like SpaceX. Can Firefly’s responsive space model sustain growth and diversification, or will it require a broader strategy to stay ahead in the evolving aerospace market? Let’s discuss.

So cool to see the Split colors looking back at me here. A peek behind the scenes about the warmer/pinkish side and the cooler/bluish side of the logo was that they were a nod to A/B testing (where testing color variations is one of the classic starting points). That was just for us - we didn't expect anyone to pick up on it. Of course the components of the glyph are < >. If you never noticed, now you can't unsee it! Harness is a great company and I think the combo of Harness+Split is such a smart move, strategically speaking. Certain competitors should be having war-room convos right now. It took a lot of hard work and smart work to create all the value that Split brings to this acquisition. Wonderful founders & CEO, Prod/Eng, GTM, G&A, investors. I'm grateful to have been able to contribute in my way as the CMO. I'd like to take a beat to acknowledge a few people deeper in the org who contributed in their way - our marketing leadership team. Ally Long Sr. Dir of Demand & Marketing Ops Robert Tucker Dir of Content & Creative Services Melissa Coito Dir of Segment & Product Marketing Elizabeth George Dir of Demand Generation All ringers. One is now a Head of Marketing, and another is a VP (at other companies). Two are open for opportunities. If you'd like an intro, I would be pleased to facilitate that. What a great ride. -AB

What do investors look for in IPOs and listed SMEs? Investors in the stock market differ. For listed SMEs the retail segment is very important as they both bring some of the needed growth capital to the table, but also a large part of the liquidity in the stock. The institutional investors are also very important in this segment. As the company grows the need for raising increasing amounts of capital quite often increase as well - here the institutional investors play an important part. But what do they look for? And what do they look up for? Join us for Nordic IPO + Stock Market Day in September. See link in the comments.

At this stage, perhaps it’s unsurprising that the Nasdaq Exchange is set to come out on top in 2024, as it gears up to trump the NYSE on listings for the sixth year running. Great to have shared my thoughts on this with Laura M. at Reuters recently. According to Dealogic data, in the first 11 months of this year, US $22 billion had been raised via IPOs on Nasdaq. Being the highest listings volume in three years, this is real cause for optimism with 2025 just around the corner. And as sectors like AI continue to attract significant investments, coupled with fiscal deregulation driven by President-elect Donald Trump, I suspect it might not be Nasdaq alone that benefits – all signs point to a strong year for US IPOs in the New Year. For a closer look at global listings this year and what might be in store for next, keep an eye out for Dealogic’s Full-year ECM Highlights this week.
