Here at Finovate Headquarters, we’ve got three reasons for having a little extra skip in our steps today:

  • First day of spring
  • First day of March Madness Basketball Tournament
  • First IPO of a Finovate alum

That alum is Q2, going public as Q2 Holdings this morning through an offering of 7.7 million shares of common stock at a price of $13 per share. The IPO is expected to raise more than $93 million, and Q2 will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol, QTWO.

As Q2 CEO Matt Flake said in an interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer, “we’ve created a platform that allows community banks and regional financial institutions that don’t have the technological wherewithal to do it themselves (to compete).”

“Our companies are doing very well right now,” he said. “They just need better technology.”
Asked about the interface and user experience, Flake said: 
“It’s a beautiful interface that allows you to get a common look and feel no matter what the device is. So if you’re on a mobile phone, a tablet or a desktop you’re going to have a consistent experience – just like with Netflix or Facebook.”
