Sometimes, taking a company public only takes only three years, like with Cathay Innovation invested Pinduoduo, but most of the time it takes much longer. September 28 2018 is a very special day for us, because it is the day CooTek is going public on the NYSE (NYSE:CTK) at a multi billion dollar valuation. We invested with NIcolas in their Series A in 2010, eight years ago, on behalf of Orange Capital, the corporate venture arm of Orange / France Telecom, and want to share what insights we get from this great story.
