Jeffrey Stewart offers a rare vantage point on IPOs. He's a serial founder who built Inc. 500 companies, an investor who's backed ambitious entrepreneurs, and a Fintech CEO who scaled across borders. After seeing the corrosive impact of companies staying private for too long, Jeffrey became obsessed with understanding the opportunity of multi-jurisdictional public offerings. By 2018 he co-founded the Global Public Offering Fund, a growth stage venture capital firm, focusing on founder-lead, disruptive business that can benefit from accelerated international expansion and public market access. Jeffrey made his first public market investment and started his first company before high school. He cut his teeth at Ernst & Young consulting for the Nasdaq regulatory group, the predecessor to FINRA, an experience that later proved invaluable as a Fintech founder who worked with regulators across two dozen countries. As an adjunct professor at Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), Jeffrey has lectured on the impact of technology on global capital markets and international policy affairs.
Global IPO is essential reading for anyone building or backing the most important companies of tomorrow. The book is a treasure map for founders and investors.
