The hope is that the private firms joining the new exchange will be more likely to list in London when they go public

Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskThe new bourse will be a partnership with Floww, a database for private firms and venture-capital funds in which the’s parent company has bought a minority stake. Floww was designed to connect startups to potential investors by enabling them to share commercial data in a standard, easily verifiable form. Theintends to take that model two steps further.

Similarities with how public-equity markets work are no coincidence.

The loss in 2016 of Arm Holdings, one of Britain’s most successful tech companies, to SoftBank, a Japanese investment giant, dealt a double blow. The firm, which has its headquarters in Cambridge, is now set to return to public markets, but looks likely to choose Nasdaq over thecannot succeed in alone.
