PublicSq., an online marketplace linking "patriotic consumers" and "freedom-loving Americans" with like-minded services and vendors, will go public as usage soars for the right-leaning company. PublicSq. has won approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission for its offering, having merged with Colombier Acquisition Corps, a publicly traded acquisition firm.
"We have witnessed the pronounced need for the values of Main Street to be represented on Wall Street," said PublicSq. CEO and founder Michael Seifert. "We provide that solution for an emerging parallel economy full of patriotic consumers ready to spend their money with companies that respect and share their values."
Seifert highlighted a growing community of over a million registered members on the platform, along with 55,000 businesses. He expressed appreciation for their support and his excitement about expanding a company that is "by the people, for the people, and owned by 'We the People.’"
PublicSq.’s appeal to conservative voters stems from their frustration with the woke politics prevalent in larger corporations and the existing economic structure's ability to stifle the activities of users whose views they disagree with. The platform aims to provide an alternative space where conservative values are respected and shared, allowing like-minded individuals to engage in commerce without feeling marginalized or silenced. The platform boasts of its ability to help consumers "shop their values" and put "purpose behind their purchases."
Conservative consumers have increasingly shown dissatisfaction with companies that have embraced the transgender ideology, leading to boycotts and declining sales. Notably, Bud Light's partnership with transgender TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney caused a significant drop in sales, and some production plants have reportedly shut down as a result.
PublicSq.’s decision to go public marks a significant milestone for the company and the conservative community it serves. As the platform continues to grow and gain momentum, it offers an alternative economic space for conservatives to support businesses that align with their values, fostering a sense of unity and empowerment among freedom-loving Americans.
