“Entrex’s marketplace solutions use revenue-enhanced, fixed-income debt securities—branded as TIGRcubs™—to create tradable, risk-adjusted investment instruments for private corporate issuers,” said Stephen H. Watkins, CEO of Entrex Florida Market. “Through Revenue Realities, we aim to demonstrate how company revenues more accurately reflect fundamental business performance, while equity valuations are often driven by market sentiment.”

Thomas Harblin, Partner at Entrex Florida Market, added: “With over 33 million private companies in the U.S., traditional equity investing presents challenges—particularly when it comes to valuation and liquidity. By focusing on revenue-based performance, we draw inspiration from early investment models such as the London Stock Exchange’s royalty-based structures. The logic remains: revenue offers measurable, consistent indicators of value.”

Revenue Realities will also complement the Florida Private Company Index (www.PrivateCompanyIndex.com), which tracks top-line performance among private businesses throughout the state. “Our various indexes will bring clarity to Florida’s private market landscape, offering both regional and statewide insights into revenue trends,” Harblin said. “It enables transparency and creates a benchmark for private company investors.”

Watkins concluded, “Our next goal is to formalize an investable index of Florida’s leading private companies. Modeled after indices like the NASDAQ, the Florida Private Company Index and the inaugural TampaTwenty founding members, will allow investors diversified access to the growth engine of Florida’s private sector.”
