Mateusz Nowak
Chief Commercial Officer | NoctilucaABSTRACT
What are the Benefits of Being a Public Company in Such a Monopolized Market as the OLED Market?
This presentation will cover:
- Escaping the often very toxic terms of VC investment agreements - protection against a squeeze-out.
- Change of information asymmetry - a public company has to inform the broad public about its dealings & independence in informing about development steps.
- Unique value proposition for investors and access to capital - the democratization of benefits from technology development - in NCL to currently approximately USD $50M in turnover since the beginning of the listing.
- Current valuation and ease of using ESOPs as a natural motivator due to liquidity.
Easy translation of R&D work into value - motivation for scientific teams, accurate valuation of Individual patent applications or other ESPI, e.g. from technology.
