How Nasdaq Direct Listings Give Founders a Liquidity Plan Without the Wait

Most founders think going public means waiting months (or years) before they or their early investors can sell.

That’s because most IPOs have lock-ups: 180-day periods where no one can sell shares—even if the company is thriving.

But with a Nasdaq Direct Listing, there’s no lock-up. Founders, employees, and early investors can sell on day one.

DLCR Benefits:

– Founders: Sell when you want
– Employees: Realize value early
– Investors: Flexibility to exit or reinvest
– Markets: Cleaner price discovery
