How much could Freetrade be worth?

Actualy, if FreeTrade were to IPO 
 wouldn’t they have done so already on the AIM, like other fast growth startups?

The fact that they haven’t would indicate it’s suring up it’s credentials to be in a strong positon for a Major IPO and primary FTSE listing. - learning to walk before it can run.

How Much could FreeTrade be Worth ?

I believe FreeTrade will dominate within ten years. Partcilarly if it moves quickly into Germany and other markets; cancelling out the growth of US upstart Robin Hood, it could become the dominate force in Europe.

AJ Bell, HL, IG and others should be worried; and if you look closely at their recent adversiting and marketing - their news stories and editorials are increasingly aimed at millenials
 but they don’t have the moat that FreeTrade has: fee-free trading (and don’t under-estimate FT’s unique offering of fractional shares trading, 500% growth, UK regulatory approval and it’s strong commmunity-based word-of-mouth advertising and free stock giveaways).

That’s why, hands down. I would invest in FT anyday. A true disruptor.

It’s far too early to IPO even on AIM. Once you’ve done that you’ve pretty much blown any opportunity for more VC cash, they aren’t going to invest in something that’s already listed.

I’d love to see a larger IPO in a few years though

I don’t think employing a German speaking person means much. Especially when TR have 8000 shares on their platform, had 150,000 customers in May 2019 and are already in Austria. Obviously freetrade have to go to the DACH region as well, but they will be playing catch up with a better funded company. Either way it will be interesting to see how these companies do in 10 years.

FT aren’t profitable yet, going public now would be a death sentence as they wouldn’t be able to raise anymore money privately.

Also, fractional shares are not a FT USP, many of their competitors, such as T212 and RH (when they launch), also offer them.

i know. I was making that very point as to why they haven’t and won’t until they become major player.

A full launch with EUR denominated accounts needs to happen in Q4.

It would also be great to see this increase in marketing spend, but until it happens I remain sceptical.

As @hookedinvesting said, I think that is essential to achieve success an EU full launch (even in the first 4 countries already mentioned) before 2020 ends.
In my opinion, this would put Freetrade a major step ahead of other companies.

Check their trustpilot page with Google translate. It seems that there may be still space in Germany for new entrants.
