If MindGeek decided to go public, which bank/advisor will want to take the transaction?
Disclaimer: You all know MindGeek’s product portfolio, if the name doesn’t ring a bell, I will leave one of the brands down below. From your knowledge of the street and the different cultural/personality fits in the different banks, which team do you think will go to the very end to secure this deal knowing the PR nightmare it would be?
Something tells me that the guys from Citi would want this deal.
I believe LionTree has an “Adult Media and Entertainment” coverage group, so probably them.
I think it would be a bit unwise for a large balance sheet bank to spend time on it, as Project 2025 and state legislators seem to be going in a contrary direction, and it would bring unwanted attention or boycotts to the other activities of the bank. Bad risk-reward. A boutique though? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
You made my day. I can imagine the look of everybody when the guys from that team says that they will be doing market research.
I just saw that MindGeek got acquired by a Canadian PE fund, ironically it is called Ethical Capital Partners
dont look up ECP's founders
How can a boutique with no balance sheet and no underwriting capability take them public? They could do a direct listing I suppose?
I remember them making the rounds a long time ago. Wasn't a go public, gauging private placement demand.
The more important question I want to know is what do you guys think the deal toy would be?
still wish the Ashley Madison IPO had gone through
Crazy story
I’ve always wondered how much money these sites actually make. Is it all ad revenue?
What kind of degenerate do you have to be for the infinite collection of 5-12 minute free clips not to suffice?
They own Brazzers. Just 10 Million subs means over 3.6 Billion revenue.
