Expoworld is a private Canadian-based family office specializing in local and international public and private financial markets.

We transact on North American and International stock exchanges using proprietary investment models.

We provide public and private companies with strategic financing alternatives. We will provide funding to early stage venture companies and support them with go-public strategies and financing alternatives.

We have particular sector expertise in technology, renewables, green-power, lifestyle, plant-based alternatives, psychedelics, social conscience and other specialized industries.

Expoworld fully leverages its own capital base and does not invest on behalf of third parties.

ExpoWorld allocates capital to seed rounds of early stage companies as strategic investor and can assisit management teams in building prudent go-to market strategies and balanced capitalization tables that survive the test of time.

We work with only what we believe to be the highest quality emerging companies that have strong management teams and which we feel will benefit from strong traction in the publicly-listed aftermarkets.

We can assist management teams with all aspects of building proper go-public strategies including the following: long term capital structure planning and financing co-ordination; management team implementation; counsel, auditor and accountant selection; operational positioning; market communications (narrative development, public relations, investor relations, presentation decks); public listing vehicle selection (IPO/RTO, direct listing); and other after market trading determinations.

Once a company has become publicly listed, ExpoWorld can stay involved to analyze markets to help management teams to understand the public markets and to properly position corporate communications initiatives and strategy.

ExpoWorld understands various financing strategies and financial vehicles and how to position the latter successfully within the context of current market conditions.

ExpoWorld has specific expertise in common stock, debenture and rights offering type financings. ExpoWorld has particular expertise in understanding issuer-lead rights offerings and in helping to explore strategies that allow for rights offerings to become fully subscribed by investors. ExpoWorld can be involved as early as necessary in the development of a successful rights offering and can serve as vital backstop.

ExpoWorld has over a decade of experience in tracking and trading publically traded corporate debentures in Canada and is skilled in the mechanics behind such instruments.

Financial structuring decisions should always be made with a view to the future goals and intentions of the company and the entrepreneur behind them.

ExpoWorld is able to work with management and counsel on setting up the right financing and/or restructuring plan that will obtain the proper traction in the market.

Too many financings are created in a vacuum and without current market insights. We bring the market insight and market pulse to the equation as well as the capital, expertise, lead order and backstop where required.
