Business Model
The business model for private placement investments is to provide initial, early stage, capital in new share issues to carefully selected high growth companies, so they can finance professional preparation for an IPO (Initial Public Offer), for example by recruiting new management, finalising pilot phase technology or taking the first steps of high volume growth already before they go public.
After the private placement, Worldnet assists the companies to prepare for and enter the stock market within 6-12 months. At the point of IPO, Athina can make an exit, consolidating returns, or the fund can in agreement with other investors waits until the best time before for investment exist, sometime after the initial public listing.
