From the CEO
Building it in public.
Once a month, Joseph Babiak writes down what it actually takes to build a public company in the open — from someone who has done it before. No picks. No predictions. No hype.
What you'll get
Every month, one thing explained plainly: how a name change really happens at FINRA, what an exchange's listing standards mean in practice, how to tell an AI company from an AI label, why we report the numbers we miss.
Every quarter, the shareholder letter — the same six measures in the same order, including what went wrong.
And nothing else. No stock picks. No other companies' tickers. No predictions about ours. If anything is ever sent about an offering, it comes from counsel, not from this list.
Thank you. The first note arrives on the first Tuesday of next month; the shareholder letter is the quarterly issue.
Meanwhile: where we stand against the exchange's standards and the questions we get.
Three questions people ask first
No. It is one CEO explaining how his company is being built and how public markets work. Nothing in it is a recommendation to buy or sell anything, including our stock.
No. We never name another issuer, in either direction.
