“Will Roseman, co-Founder of the Linux Fund, stated, “We chose
MainStreetIPO’s Dutch auction hosting service to conduct our
‘self-underwriting’ because only MainStreetIPO.com offers the
individual investor the opportunity to be involved in what
traditionally would be purely the domain of institutions.”
“MainStreetIPO.com shares the same democratic spirit as the
Linux community so we felt it would be a perfect match. Small
pension funds, individual investors and Linux programmers, who
might otherwise be shut out of our IPO, will now have the exact
same opportunity as Fidelity, Soros, and other large institutions
to own our shares. The traditional IPO route would not have allowed
the average investor the ability to own The Linux Fund shares and
therefore would have been shut-out of participation in our leading
Linux software application companies.”
“The Linux Fund was established by Will Roseman and Rick
Berenstein in October 1998 to provide investment opportunities to
investors looking for a way to become involved in this new and
dramatically exciting computer operating system. The Linux Fund is
on the forefront of the Linux revolution. By establishing
viable investment opportunities based on quality of underlying
investments, appreciation potential, and the advancement of Linux,
The Linux Fund is the only diversified opportunity for individuals
and institutions alike to become part of this phenomenon.“
