WeTransfer halka arzı iptal

Şirketten yapılan açıklamada halka arzın piyasalarda oluşan oynaklık nedeniyle geri çekildiği belirtildi. Şirket ilk etapta finansman hedefini yüzde 20 düşürerek 125 milyon euro olarak revize etmişti. Teklif edilen halka arzla birlikte şirketin değerini 716 milyon euroya ulaşmıştı.

Legal & General Investment Management fon yöneticisi Gavin Launder, piyasa koşullarının söz konusu halka arza katılmamalarında kısmen etkili olduğunu kaydetti. Launder halka arz ile ilgili endişelerinde “Şirketin giriş için herhangi bir engele sahip olmaması ve Google ve Amazon.com Inc. gibi bulut altyapısına sahip firmaların sektöre girme ihtimalinin” etkili olduğunu belirti.

Bloomberg’e konuşan bir kaynak şirketin birçok olasılığı değerlendirdiğini, ileri tarihte halka arz ya da birleşme/satın alma gibi seçeneklerin devre dışı olmadığını söyledi.

Hali hazırda değerleme beklentilerini revize eden WeTransfer 1 milyar dolara ulaşan startuplar için kullanılan “Unicorn” unvanını elde etme şansını kaçırdı. Şirketin ortaklarından Irena Goldenberg konuyla ilgili yaptığı açıklamada halka arz iptal kararının, hisselerinin bir kısmını satmayı planlayan Highland Europe Technology ve HPE Institutional şirketlerinin uzun dönemli ortak kalma planlarında değişiklik yaratmadığını belirtti.

2022 HALKA ARZ LİSTESİ

ŞİRKETİ YAKINDAN TANIYALIM…

Welcome to WeTransfer

Founded in 2009 as the simplest way to send big files around the world, WeTransfer has since grown into an ecosystem of creative productivity tools. The company’s suite of tools is specifically designed for creative professionals, enabling collaboration, co-creation and client management across their workflow process.

As a certified B Corporation™, WeTransfer has long been a champion of using business as a force for good. The company famously donates 30% of its advertising real estate to raise awareness for artists and creative work.

Responsible business

Good ideas deserve good company, and WeTransfer has built a business with empathy at its core. WeTransfer is driven by a sense of purpose and a belief that only sustainable and responsible businesses can stay relevant in the future.

This core value permeates throughout the organization and impacts every aspect of WeTransfer’s business practices. The company elected to have its social and environmental performance, as well as its focus on accountability and transparency, assessed against the proprietary criteria established by B Lab, an independent non-profit organization.

In March 2020, WeTransfer was designated as a Certified B Corporation, confirming its ambition to strengthen its values-driven approach to responsible technology and business.

Commitment to the creative community

WeTransfer believes creativity is the driving force behind humankind, and the company takes pride in supporting the global community of creatives who rely on its tools every single day.

Since the beginning WeTransfer has donated 30% of advertising real estate to raise awareness for artists, creative work, and some of the world’s most pressing issues. This has led to partnerships with artists and organizations like Björk, FKA twigs, Marina Abramović, Riz Ahmed, the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the UN Development Program and Seatrees.

In 2016, WeTransfer helped launch the world’s first free Masters of the Arts in design thinking with the University of the Underground, as well as Worldwide FM, a global radio station run by legendary BBC broadcaster Gilles Peterson. In 2021 the company launched The Supporting Act, a foundation designed to support emerging creative talent.

1. Founder story
   WeTransfer is founded in Amsterdam in 2009 by Dutch entrepreneurs Bas Beerens and Nalden. The pair build a file-sharing tool to solve the problems they frequently face as designers and creatives—being unable to send large, design-heavy files over the internet. 

   WeTransfer is built on a foundation of design-driven businesses including Oy, Bas Beerens’ creative studio, and Present Plus, founded by Damian Bradfield and Nalden (which is later acquired by WeTransfer.) As a result, from day one the business prioritizes user experience, making its tools beautiful, frictionless, and unobtrusive.

   To help fund their endeavor Bas and Nalden pioneer a non-intrusive advertising model for the tool in the form of beautiful, full-screen wallpapers. 30% of all advertising inventory is donated to promote the work of other creatives and charitable causes.
