In a transaction that may have proved that crowdfunding under Regulation A+ is a viable alternative for companies, Rimon Law assisted in handling one of the first investment bank led Regulation A+ NASDAQ listed public offerings.  It was also the largest investment banked Regulation A+ listed company raise to date.

ShiftPixy, an HR and Technology solution company focused on the gig economy, went to the market under the new Reg A+ system, which is designed to ease the challenges faced by small cap companies looking to enter the equity marketplace.  ShiftPixy raised $12 million in the IPO.

Rimon Law represented lead underwriter W.R. Hambrecht + Co., LLC.  Leading the transaction team was Rimon partners Frank Vargas and Jennifer Dasari and associate Michael Vargas.  “After many unsuccessful Reg A+ offerings, ShiftPixy and WR Hambrecht +Co proved that Reg A+ can be used as an effective fund-raising tool as originally planned by Congress and its supporters. Companies now have a trail to follow in seeking how to raise capital under Reg A+.  We are very proud to have been an integral part of the team that successfully completed the ShiftPixy offering.” said Mr. Vargas.
