MDB Capital Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results
Addison, TX, Nov. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MDB Capital Holdings, LLC, (NASDAQ: MDBH) (“MDB”), a public venture platform with the objective of growing the public venture marketplace and optimizing the way meaningful technologies are financed and built, yesterday reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023 on form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and will highlight recent corporate progress on today’s call with management.
“The third quarter of 2023 was highlighted by an important milestone in our company’s journey, as we successfully completed our IPO and began trading on the NASDAQ,” said Christopher Marlett, CEO and Co-Founder of MDB. “I look forward to providing an ‘Investor’s Toolkit’ on today’s update call to transparently help shareholders understand how to measure our progress in the quarters and years ahead, as we look to scale our operations to launch and support more visionary companies that possess the potential to be market leaders in their technology category.”
The company believes the complexity of understanding its progress via regulatorily mandated financial statements can be made much simpler and expects to deliver a downloadable financial model for our investors to utilize to make their own assumptions in order to model shareholder value creation.
Marlett concluded, “We will also be utilizing this model to communicate a consistent framework to understand the potential shareholder value our platform can create with the dedication of our team and investor community. We look forward to your feedback and suggestions during the call.”
Third Quarter and Subsequent 2023 Operational Highlights
- Closed an initial public offering of MDB Class A common shares for approximately $20 million: The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, meeting regulatory capital requirements, as well as funding new “Big Idea” investments. We believe we will be able to fund operations and continued investment through a combination of monetizing our equity investments in partner companies over time and the eventual cash flows from the operation of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Public Ventures, LLC (“Public Ventures”) and PatentVest, Inc. (“PatentVest”).
- Secured final regulatory approval for Public Ventures to act as a self-clearing broker-dealer: The approval will allow Public Ventures to meaningfully expand its business scope and enhance its investment banking services to both issuers and our community of investors.
- Launched integrated IP solution platform at PatentVest: After securing a law firm license in Arizona in September 2022 through the newly established Alternative Business Structure (ABS) program, we began building out the initial team of strategists, patent attorneys and IP analysts to deliver a cohesive solution to new technology companies. During the quarter, PatentVest officially launched its platform that allows us to integrate technology expertise with patent prosecution services and began proactive efforts to offer its suite of services to technology companies and succesfully secured its first two clients.
- Secured approximately $4 million in non-dilutive funding at “Big Idea” partner company: Invizyne Technologies Inc. (“Invizyne”), a leading designer of enzyme-based biomanufacturing systems – and a subsidiary of MDB – was awarded within the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). The company was also one of four companies selected and awarded $250,000 to participate in the latest . The funds will be used to accelerate development and commercialization of Invizyne’s disruptive synthetic biology and biomanufacturing platform.
