Rosenblatt Announces Transactions Across the Private & Public Markets, Serving as Exclusive Financial Advisor to LeveL ATS on its Minority Investment from Nasdaq & as a Co-Manager on the Robinhood IPO
Rosenblatt Securities is pleased to announce its role in two prominent FinTech transactions spanning the private and public markets. Rosenblatt served as the exclusive financial advisor to LeveL ATS on securing a significant minority investment from Nasdaq that was announced this morning. We also served as a Tier 1 co-manager on Robinhood’s IPO priced on July 29, 2021.
With respect to the LeveL-Nasdaq deal, Whit Conary, CEO of LeveL ATS said, “We are excited to welcome Nasdaq as a partner as we continue to grow and add innovative products and services. The addition of Nasdaq to our already strong consortium will expand our ability to provide a world class facility for securities execution. Rosenblatt’s knowledge of our business and domain expertise, experience working with consortiums, and deep relationships with institutional and strategic investors, made them a clear choice. They proved to be an invaluable partner through the entire process, providing sound advice and dedicated senior resources.”
“We’re thrilled to have advised LeveL ATS on its partnership with Nasdaq, joining a world class set of operators and investors in the equities and ETF trading business. Nasdaq’s inclusion and expertise provides LeveL with an even greater foundation for growth, product innovation and new market opportunities, cementing its position as a leading broker-neutral trading platform”, said Vikas Shah, Rosenblatt’s Head of FinTech Investment Banking.
Joe Gawronski, President of Rosenblatt, shared, “We are delighted and honored to have paired LeveL ATS and Nasdaq, bringing together one of the world’s most sophisticated exchange groups into a successful consortium of brokers, a rare example of cooperation that sharply contrasts with the infighting that has been more characteristic of the industry over the past few years.”
Rosenblatt also served as a Tier 1 co-manager on Robinhood’s IPO which listed on Nasdaq on July 29, 2021.
