When IPC Systems announced in April 2023 that it was partnering with the Dream Exchange, a timely and ambitious US initiative to launch the first minority-owned (and governed) registered stock exchange in the history of the United States, Mike Smith, Director of IPC Network Services said, “IPC is privileged and excited to be part of Dream Exchange’s vision and mission to increase participation in capital markets across all sectors of society.”

Dream Exchange had the honor and privilege of participating in the Black Business Conference which was sponsored by the National Business League, World Conference of Mayors, and the National Black Chamber of Commerce.

Professors Leonce Bargeron and Ioannis Floros recently conducted a study (the “Study”) documenting the fact that private investments in public equity (PIPEs) frequently raise funds at a premium, where the offer price is higher than the issuer’s previous trading day closing price.

In a world where economic opportunities for black-owned businesses have historically been limited, a remarkable movement is gaining momentum.

This collaboration promises to accelerate the Dream Exchange’s time to market
