DealRoom, The Market Link’s capital raising service that directly links HotCopper investors with pre-IPO and investment opportunities in Australia and North America, is now expanding across the globe.
Our service stands alone among competitors as the only way to get direct access to the largest community of Aussie investors, both sophisticated and retail — and it’s available to another eager investor group from today.
We’re launching DealRoom in the U.K., in a brand-new chapter in cross-border deal flow to connect companies and investors across Australia.
“We’re opening things up to U.K. investors, and this will give them access to transactions coming out of Australia, Canada, and of course, the U.K.,” HotCopper’s Director of Capital Markets, Tim Sylvester, said.
This expansion was made possible after The Market Link merged with retail trader information websites operator ADVFN, bringing Hotcopper, Stockhouse, ADVFN.com, and Investors Hub in the U.S. under one banner and giving all those interested investors a significantly greater reach globally.
By combining those now-unified websites, DealRoom’s offerings are able to reach upwards of 30 million investors visiting the platforms each year.
“We can match the right investors with the right transactions,” Mr Sylvester explained.
Wider reach as borders disappear
Across the three geographies, the flow of capital is going to become even easier, and DealRoom means you’re not bound by where you are geographically. Instead, you can simply be bound by your investment preferences.
“There are a lot of companies that are purchasing assets offshore, and their investor pools aren’t located in one particular place,” Mr Sylvester said.
Alongside that, more and more companies in Australia, the U.K., and in the States are looking to list on multiple exchanges in several countries, as cross-border activity becomes more and more mandatory.
Why is now the right time?
Private placements everywhere are steadily gaining traction again — meaning now’s the perfect time for interested investors to look at this part of the market.
Over the next twelve months, the appetite for investors is going to increase; we’re going to see public companies’ ability to raise capital increase and only get more effective. “We’ve seen that number go up quite dramatically, even just in the last three months, and we’re anticipating that to only get larger,” Mr Sylvester said.
If you’re wanting to invest in these types of transactions, the DealRoom makes perfect sense. The investor process gives widespread access to see everything on the horizon, and there’s no obligation to invest in anything either.
Grabbing the DealRoom opportunity
From today, interested investors and interested companies across Australia, North America, and the U.K. can sign up for DealRoom from the comfort of their own homes and participate in pre-IPO and capital raising opportunities.
