Intermediary and Counterparty Collaboration

Mission Markets is actively seeking collaboration with advisory firms, broker dealers, lawyers, specialized consultants and other potential partners and counterparties who currently generate offerings and assist issuers. We strongly encourage companies and organizations with little experience preparing an offering to seek outside assistance before listing on Mission Markets.

Companies can raise capital with (direct issuance private placement) or without the assistance of a broker dealer or placement agent (advisor underwritten offering).

The Mission Markets’ marketing team plays multiple roles. Our team will actively source new deal flow and encourage entrepreneurs and project sponsors to meet or exceed the MLRs. If needed, we will provide referrals to specific service providers such as lawyers or financial advisers.

Focused and consultative marketing efforts will be made to support each new listed investment opportunity and will include direct outreach, attending and presenting at conferences, collaborating with national and regional non-profit organizations, the use of web-based and viral marketing techniques, as well as more established public relations and promotional activities.

Direct and Intrastate Public Offerings

Mission Markets supports social enterprises who are interested in self underwriting and becoming public companies using a direct public offering (DPO) or intrastate public offering. These SEC offering exemptions allow businesses to cost effectively raise capital through the public markets without having to qualify for a national exchange listing.

Companies that complete a DPO or intrastate public offering can utilize Mission Markets to support secondary market liquidity and the price discovery that a quoted market can provide. Issuers must comply with SEC regulations regarding Blue Sky registration laws and specific state regulations.
