HeartCore Signs 13th Go IPO Contract

NEW YORK and TOKYO, March 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: HTCR) (“HeartCore” or the “Company”), a leading enterprise software and consulting services company based in Tokyo, announced that it has signed an agreement (“Consulting Agreement”) with PharmaBio Corporation (“PharmaBio”) for its 13^th Go IPO consulting service win.

“I am pleased to announce our 13^th Go IPO contract win and our second contract for 2024,” said HeartCore CEO Sumitaka Kanno Yamamoto. “With the recent $9 million generated from the sale of a Go IPO client’s warrant, this business remains a pivotal driver for our long-term financial growth and our ability to pursue M&A opportunities within our software business. As our clients achieve successful listings on U.S. exchanges, HeartCore is poised to reach new heights, fueled by the revenue influx from the post-IPO sale of additional Go IPO client warrants. Our team’s reputation and services continue to solidify, establishing us as the preferred, go-to U.S. IPO advisory firm within the Japanese markets. We look forward to announcing our client’s successful listings and eagerly await the financial benefits that will help stabilize and propel the HeartCore business. Our team is confident that 2024 will be the strongest year in company history.”
