Going Public is a groundbreaking new series that follows the journeys of entrepreneurs as they prepare to go public. Coming soon to Entrepreneur.com, Going Public is the first series that features companies that are accepting investments from viewers, while they watch. Episodes will also be available for viewing on the Global Entrepreneurship Network.
The show follows the public offering journey of four companies and shares priceless leadership advice and guidance from three mentors -- including Jeff Hoffman, chair of the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) and executive producer of Going Public, Jaime Schmidt of Schmidt Naturals, and Josh Snow of Snow Whitening.
"Our mission at GEN is to make it easier for anyone, anywhere to start and scale a company," said Hoffman. "Going Public is introducing viewers to opportunities that make this possible."
"The partnership with the Global Entrepreneurship Network is a logical and necessary next step in our mission to provide mass mainstream awareness for Going Public with entrepreneurs and investors both domestically and internationally," said Darren Marble, Going Public series co-creator and co-founder of Crush Capital, a pioneering fintech firm.
"The reach and mission of the Global Entrepreneurship Network aligns perfectly with the series, Going Public," added executive producer and Crush Capital co-founder, Todd Goldberg. "As GEN aims to make it easier to start and scale a business, Going Public chronicles the journey of a diverse cast of entrepreneurs, as they open their public offerings to viewers who can now click-to-invest, while they watch.”
The show will be streamed on Entrepreneur.com, which claims 20 million monthly unique visitors. It is being produced by Emmy-nominated studio INE Entertainment, whose previous reality-show credits include "The Biggest Loser" and "MasterChef."
Lauren Simmons, the youngest-ever female trader on the New York Stock Exchange and second Black woman ever to hold such a role, will host the inaugural season and aims to demystify the investment process.
