Big Tech has flourished on the US public markets in recent years with numerous blue-chip IPOs, from Google and Facebook, to new kids on the block such as Snap, Zoom, and Airbnb. A key trend is the burgeoning use of dual-class stock. Dual-class stock enables founders to divest of equity and generate finance for growth through an IPO, without losing the control they desire to pursue their long-term, market-disrupting visions. Bobby Reddy scrutinises the global history of dual-class stock, evaluates the conceptual and empirical evidence on dual-class stock, and assesses the approach of the London Stock Exchange and ongoing UK regulatory reforms to dual-class stock. A policy roadmap is presented that optimally supports the adoption of dual-class stock while still protecting against its potential abuses, which will more effectively attract high-growth, innovative companies to the UK equity markets, boost the economy, and unleash the true potential of ' founders without limits' .

' Founders Without Limits is likely to be the definitive work on dual class shares for a generation. It is a superb contribution, written with clarity and wit, which is directly relevant for all public stock markets around the world, at a time when dual class structures are firmly in the policy spotlight. ' James Palmer, Partner, Corporate Lawyer and former Chair, Herbert Smith Freehills ' Bobby Reddy' s Founders Without Limits offers the definitive treatment of an issue that will do much to define the public company' s role in Britain' s corporate economy for decades to come. A thorough treatment of the relevant empirical and comparative evidence provides the platform for timely and persuasive policy recommendations. ' Brian Cheffins, S. J. Berwin Professor of Corporate Law, University of Cambridge ' This is a refreshing book. It transcends the rigid thinking that is often evident in the debate about dual class shares. It displays a sophisticated understanding of the motivations of company founders and the nature of company ownership. Bobby Reddy combines an academic' s rigour with a practitioner' s common sense and a teacher' s flair for memorable illustration. ' Mark Goyder, Founder of Tomorrow' s Company ' Dual-class stock listings of companies are becoming increasingly more attractive to their stakeholders. Bobby Reddy' s book is the authoritative exposition of the legal and regulatory development of dual-class stock listings in the US, the UK and around the world. It is an invaluable reference guide for students, academics and practitioners alike. ' Dr Guy O' Keefe, Partner, Slaughter and May
