Aussie start-up Alta Group, which runs a mixed-martial-arts training app, has quietly gone public in the US listing on the NYSE American exchange, months after warning there was doubt it could continue as a going concern unless it raised further funds.
After reporting operating losses of $20.6 million and $11.2 million for fiscal 2023 and 2022, Alta disclosed in its financial documents filed with ASIC and its prospectus that “there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern”. “Alta has raised all capital rounds since 2020 at higher pre-money valuations than the previous round, with the IPO valuation of $US45 million pre-money being the highest valuation so far achieved by the company.”
