Public Sq. Announces IPO: A Conservative Tech Success Story
Public Sq. in combination with Colombier Acquisition Corp expect to IPO
Earlier today, Public Sq. founder, Michael Seifert announced on his Twitter that Public Sq. will be going public in combination with Colombier Acquisition Corp “so that we can be a company by the people, for the people, and owned by ‘We the People’. There’s a desperate need for the values of Main Street to be represented on Wall St. and we’re grateful to provide a solution.”
In just under eight months since its nationwide launch, Public Sq. has already emerged as the foremost values-aligned marketplace connecting pro-America businesses and consumers. With around 450,000 active users and over 40,000 businesses on its platform, Public Sq. is dedicated to serving a massive estimated total addressable market of over 100 million Americans who have been largely overlooked by existing networks and marketplaces. It's a testament to the platform's commitment to building a thriving community of like-minded Americans and businesses that share a common vision for a better America.
In a statement from the press release announcing the IPO, Seifert said:
“For too long, progressive corporations have prioritized highly politicized ideas over the interests and values of the American people. Because of this, we, as patriotic Americans, are hungering for a future where the power is back in the hands of ‘We the People’ and a parallel economy is created. With the PublicSq. platform, we are grateful to provide a solution that helps every day, freedom-loving Americans spend their hard-earned money with businesses that prioritize the values that have made this nation so special in the first place. We’re just getting started, and we’re proud to partner with the Colombier team.”
On the same press release, Omeed Malik, the CEO and Chairman of Colombier, had this to say:
“It has become increasingly obvious that there is a disconnect in America between the priorities of large multinational corporations that dominate our consumer experience and the hard-working families and individuals who yearn to find proudly patriotic businesses whose values align with theirs. PublicSq. has recognized and acted on this unmet need in a credible and efficient way – and with the tremendous growth of its digital platform, it is clear that Michael and his team are just getting started. We are thrilled to be supporting them on this journey.”
The new entities anticipated Board of Directors has some heavy hitters:
Michael Seifert - Founder and CEO of PublicSq., and a recognized thought-leader in the areas of business development, politics, and culture.
Omeed Malik - in addition to his role at Colombier, is the Founder and CEO of Farvahar Partners, a boutique investment bank, and the President of 1789 Capital, an investment firm that provides financing to companies in the budding Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Growth ("EIG") economy.
Nick Ayers - leading public policy and business strategist, and most recently served in the White House as Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff to the Vice President.
Blake Masters - entrepreneur and investor who previously served as COO of Thiel Capital from 2018 to 2022 and was Arizona’s Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in 2022.
It is a common notion on the right that we should maintain a low profile, stay quiet, and bide our time until the left is defeated. However, Seifert and Malik have shattered this notion by demonstrating that we need to take an entirely different approach. We must be unapologetically loud and unafraid to be seen. We must be bold, brave, and unabashedly big. In order to triumph, we must use the left's own tactics against them. We can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines and employ the same failed tactics we have for decades. Public Sq. has unequivocally proven this to be true. Instead of being silent or slow, they acted quickly and boldly, taking advantage of every resource at their disposal: money, talent, technology, and much more. And they're winning! This is an invaluable lesson for the right, particularly conservative technologists or those aspiring to be. While Public Sq. is far from out of the fight, they have demonstrated that we possess the capabilities to come out on top.
So congratulations to Michael Seifert and the entire Public Sq. team on their IPO announcement! This moment not only signifies a monumental win for their team but also a win for the entire conservative tech community. I sincerely hope other conservative entrepreneurs follow in Public Sq.'s footsteps and take bold risks in anticipation of lucrative exits like this one. Let this success serve as an inspiration, as the conservative tech movement is rapidly expanding. If there was ever a time to join the conservative tech movement, that time is now! The future is bright red, and with the right mindset and strategy, things like this are truly possible.
