IPO pricing expected within 1-2 days. The 86.6% post-IPO voting control by founders creates a controlled-company structure, limiting minority shareholder influence. Watch for the final pricing and first-day trading performance. The company's rapid revenue growth from a tiny base ($551K) and ongoing losses suggest high volatility post-listing.
