Mike Logozzo, CEO of reAlpha (NASDAQ: AIRE), shares how the company took a nontraditional route to IPO — skipping venture capital and raising millions directly from retail investors. Instead of pursuing the typical VC fundraising path, reAlpha launched a Regulation A (Reg A) “mini-IPO,” raising roughly $9–9.5 million from over 3,000 retail shareholders. This approach allowed the company to fund early growth without heavy dilution — giving everyday investors access to early-stage ownership. Logozzo highlights one of the biggest challenges of this model: providing liquidity for early shareholders before going public. Through its eventual IPO, reAlpha delivered that liquidity while validating the power of crowdfunding and community-backed finance in today’s market. ✅ Save this for later and follow for more CEO insights, IPO stories, and alternative capital-raising strategies. #reAlpha #MikeLogozzo #IPO 🖥️ Try Benzinga Pro FREE with a 14 day trial: benzinga.com/pro/regist...
