From the desk
What every unlisted platform sells

The same forty well-known pre-IPO names, priced by the crowd, marketed by every broker, available on every site, with a price and a PDF and nothing checked.

What Before the Bell sells

IPO-bound gems, before the crowd finds them. Profitable companies on their way to a listing that no unlisted platform is marketing, bought directly from the promoter while the valuation is still sensible. Before it gets a room, each one goes through the desk's proprietary diligence: site, factory and plant visits, customer orders verified, customer and supplier feedback taken and the numbers reconciled. Each carries a Desk Score.

On the desk

Why Before the Bell

Your first look.Their first real round.

A family office sees the raise first; the company raises properly for the first time. What every company on the desk has in common:

Multiple on invested capital (MOIC)premium paid by late entrantsSeed by promotersskin in the gameBefore the Bellnegotiated entry · family officesPrice discoverybankers · platforms · fundsPublic marketsfull price discoveryYou enter herebefore the bankers
  • Only on this deskNo banker-marketed round, and not carried by other unlisted or pre-IPO platforms when it comes to the desk.
  • Revenue and profit, todayReal revenue and positive PAT, audited or in audit. Not a story about profits after the listing.
  • Demonstrably IPO-boundA main-board or SME listing within about 36 months, with the milestones laid out and tracked in the room: audit, banker, DRHP, listing.
  • Priced below the listed peersEntered at a clear discount to where comparable listed companies trade. Faster-growing sectors earn higher multiples, so every room sets trailing and forward P/E next to the listed peer set, and the test can be checked.
  • Promoter keeps the majorityThe promoter keeps control through the round and the listing, so the people who built the business stay in it.

Founders can check whether they are ready to list, free and in two minutes.

The difference

Pre-IPO deals used to travel by forward.On the desk, they open in a room.

The old wayWeeks of back-and-forth before a real look
  • A deck forwarded on WhatsApp, three hops from the promoter
  • No idea who else has seen the numbers
  • Numbers from a PDF that is months old
  • Questions on calls, answers lost in a chat
  • Nobody checked the plant or the order book
  • Chasing someone to ask if allocation is left
Before the BellThe room opens the moment you sign
  • Found directly with the promoter. You see it first-hand, before bankers shop it
  • Every document view logged against a name, in your office's own record
  • A live room: financials, terms, IPO path and documents, with alerts when they change
  • Questions in writing; answers posted in the room, privately if you prefer
  • Site visits, orders and customers checked before a company gets a room
  • Request an allocation with a slider, or pass in one line
How the money moves

Your money goes straight to the company.It never passes through the desk.

The desk finds, checks and documents the deal. The investment goes from your family office to the company or seller under signed documents, and the shares come to your demat. The desk never holds investors' money.
