Antevenio went public in 2006 through an IPO on a small boutique bank. The IPO raised €8.2 million and increased Antevenio's visibility, allowing it to grow through acquisitions. However, being a public company also created new challenges like increased reporting requirements, transparency risks, and less flexibility for long-term strategy. On balance, the CEO viewed the IPO as beneficial despite the cons, as it supported expanding the business internationally and growing revenue and profits significantly in subsequent years.
