Philosophy
ExpoWorld investment philosophy follows gestaltian principles: 1 + 1 + 1 can almost always yield a sum much greater than 3. We believe in bringing together very disparate sets of information and resources to form a connected view of the universe.
We are problem solvers. There is no situation to which we cannot find a way through, around, over or deep into. This is at the heart of how we create value for our investments and the stakeholders around them.
We are committed to the entrepreneur and to maintaining purity of concept, form and execution. We are minimalists who focus on what is at the core of a concept and an investment.
We work alongside concepts and individuals that provide a net positive to society. We enjoy creating, dodging, weaving and getting to a clean and elegant result that works.

Go - To - Market Planning
ExpoWorld allocates capital to seed rounds of early stage companies as strategic investor and can assist management teams in building prudent go-to market strategies and balanced capitalization tables that survive the test of time.
We work with only what we believe to be the highest quality emerging companies that have strong management teams and which we feel will benefit from strong traction in the publicly-listed aftermarkets.

We can assist management teams with all aspects of building proper go-public strategies including the following: long term capital structure planning and financing co-ordination; management team implementation; counsel, auditor and accountant selection; operational positioning; market communications (narrative development, public relations, investor relations, presentation decks); public listing vehicle selection (IPO/RTO, direct listing); and other after market trading determinations.
Once a company has become publicly listed, ExpoWorld can stay involved to analyze markets to help management teams to understand the public markets and to properly position corporate communications initiatives and strategy.

Rights Offerings
ExpoWorld has particular expertise in understanding issuer-lead rights offerings and in helping to explore strategies that allow for rights offerings to become fully subscribed by investors. ExpoWorld can be involved as early as necessary in the development of a successful rights offering and can serve as vital backstop.
Restructuring
ExpoWorld is able to work with management and counsel on setting up the right financing and/or restructuring plan that will obtain the proper traction in the market.
Too many financings are created in a vacuum and without current market insights. We bring the market insight and market pulse to the equation as well as the capital, expertise, lead order and backstop where required.
