Why is Meraki Partners the best advisor for direct listings?

Most founders think “IPO” is the only way to go public—but that’s not true. Direct listings offer a smarter, founder-friendly alternative, where you avoid costly underwriter fees and keep more control. The challenge is that very few advisors know how to execute them properly.

Meraki Partners is one of those rare advisors. We guide you through every requirement, from exchange rules and SEC filings to building the right advisory team. We know how to position your company to meet investor expectations while compressing timelines and controlling costs. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel—we’ve done this before, and we know the shortcuts that still maintain full compliance.

For founders, this means you go public faster, with lower costs, and without losing your independence. A direct listing with Meraki Partners isn’t just a transaction; it’s a transformation that unlocks transparency, creates acquisition leverage, and expands your pool of investors—all while keeping you firmly in control.
