Growth, in batches.
Napkin ‘batches’ multiple attractive company applications together; conducts diligence; then acquires all at once. On transaction day, Napkin issues common stock to all target acquisitions, with a single set price and value, with transparently and no preferred shares. Napkin pays for bankers, accountants, legal, auditors, and marketers to conduct and orchestrate. Founders join, meet, and focus together on growth, while receiving peer support. These newly minted Napkin shareholders share in the value of moving to market as a large team, which equates to top-tier global clients, a strong balance sheet, and the liquidity necessary to outpace the competition.
Napkin’s IPO will occur once all four (4) projected batches are completed, and >$1bn in valuation is achieved from ~3-5x revenue. Liquidity is offered in two ways: by offering share buy-backs and secondaries transactions (not guaranteed) pre-IPO, and through IPO on high volume markets such as TSX and/or NASDAQ (utilizing sponsor banks within Napkin‘s current investor-base and network). A conservative price per share range desired is between $10-$20, which supports strong founder exits from each batch. Each move is made with these conservative price targets in mind, and thereby Napkin seeks to cap dilutive events. To support founders, Napkin offers fair value at each step in the process, and does not give preferential treatment to VC’s, investors, brokers, or bankers.
To achieve volume at exit, Napkin will IPO with fair value, providing plenty of room for the stock to grow in part; this will be done by showing LOI’s for further acquisitions that can be achieved through use of public funds. Napkin vows to never “dump on retail heads”. We believe in fair tech, fair trade, and fair opportunity.
Application deadline for Batch 2 Acquisitions is August 30th, 2024. Transaction closing date will occur on September 30th, 2024 at 2:00pm Eastern Time (Toronto/Miami).
