DealFlow Media Acquires PrivateRaise.com and Announces Launch of New Database Service for PIPEs, Reverse Mergers, and SPACs
JERICHO, NEW YORK, July 29 -- DealFlow Media, Inc. (www.dealflowmedia.com/privateraise), today announced the acquisition of the assets and business of PrivateRaise.com LLC, including the PrivateRaise.com website, which tracks private placements of equity and equity-linked securities executed by public companies.
The transaction is DealFlow Media’s first major acquisition since being founded in 2003 and complements the company’s business of providing information and analysis on alternative investment structures.
PrivateRaise’s award-winning service simplifies monitoring, researching and analyzing private investments in public equities (PIPEs) and the entities associated with these transactions including investors, placement agents, and law firms.
"Given the continuing interest in PIPEs as an attractive way for companies to raise capital, it’s important that market participants have credible information in order to facilitate efficient pricing. With this acquisition, we immediately become an important player in providing database services and it positions us to offer premium services for other markets we serve in the areas of insurance, equities, debt, and real estate investment structures," said Steven Dresner, President of DealFlow Media..
David Lee, Director of Business Development at PrivateRaise added, "The entire PrivateRaise team is pleased to join DealFlow Media. Our long-standing relationship as the exclusive provider of data for The PIPEs Report makes this a powerful combination".
In conjunction with this acquisition, DealFlow Media has launched an expanded set of services on the PrivateRaise platform. These services include enhancements to PIPE tracking and new features to analyze reverse mergers, shell vehicles, and special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). DealFlow Media has combined its proprietary databases used in The SPAC Report and The Reverse Merger Report with the PrivateRaise platform to create a new class of service for investors, investment bankers, and attorneys who specialize in these deal structures.
"Our goal is to build upon the PrivateRaise platform and create new services that allow clients to compare pricing terms, analyze trends, and identify potential investors in transactions," said DealFlow Media’s Publisher Brett Goetschius. "PrivateRaise has proven to be the most accurate data source in the PIPE market and we believe that through our combination of products, we can deliver exceptional value to clients."
The new service including reverse mergers, shell vehicles, and SPACs, is now available to PrivateRaise members. For information about receiving a trial membership visit www.dealflowmedia.com/privateraise or call (212) 688-4519.
