ZLV presented a complete business plan to detail the step-by-step pathway to growing valuation from $177M to a $1.6B target valuation prior to listing on the NASDAQ Global Exchange. This plan incorporates a broad range of objectives that affect branding, market positioning, product roadmap, intellectual property policies, enhanced distribution, and go-to-market partnership strategies.
