Wilson Sonsini’s 2023 Technology and Life Sciences PIPE and RDO Report presents analysis related to 177 private investments in public equity (PIPEs) and registered direct offerings (RDOs) by U.S.-based technology and life sciences companies between January 1 and December 31, 2023. PIPEs and RDOs can be good alternatives to traditional underwritten offerings, particularly during periods of market volatility, because they can be negotiated discreetly and publicly announced after the parties agree to terms.
