As MacPaw founder and CEO Oleksandr Kosovan told DOU in an interview, the company has a global goal — to enter the public markets.
«We plan to attract investments in MacPaw. In preparation for this, we plan to work with various partners who will help prepare the company. We are also thinking about possible investments from these partners. Yes, we plan to go public in a few years. To develop successfully, we need much more resources — so that we can work more effectively with our partners, perhaps buy relevant startups, and scale faster. This is critically important for success. Our resources are not enough for this. That’s why we started thinking about entering the public markets,» he said.
