The company Cuatrochenta, specialized in technological solutions, has marked a milestone in the Spanish financial markets by being the first company formed in the Pre-Market Environment (EpM) to make the leap to be listed in BME Growth. Its track record is an example of how this training environment can be a key lever for access to capital markets.
Since joining the EpM in May 2017, Cuatrochenta took full advantage of the tools, training sessions and personalized accompaniment offered by this program driven by BME. Thanks to this process, the company strengthened its internal structure, improved its governance and successfully prepared its jump to the alternative stock market, which culminated with its incorporation to BME Growth in October 2020. Already at that time, its CEO Alfredo Cebrián, defined EpM as "A fantastic program that prepares us for the exit. Through the program we have direct access to market professionals".
Cuatrochenta's experience reaffirms the value of the EpM as an effective way for innovative SMEs with growth potential to access the market under optimal conditions, with a solid foundation and a clear roadmap.
In this recently recorded video, its CFO shares his first-hand experience, highlighting the fundamental role that the Pre-Market Environment has played in these five years as a listed company:
"The EpM was a real school for us. Not only did we learn how the market works, but it helped us to professionalize ourselves, to structure ourselves as a company and to understand what it really means to be a listed company."
BME continues to work to accompany more companies on this path, strengthening the Spanish entrepreneurial ecosystem with initiatives such as the Pre-Market Environment, which has already trained more than 40 companies since its creation.
