Long-Term Stock Exchange

Founded by author and entrepreneur Eric Ries, the Long-Term Stock Exchange is an SEC-approved U.S. stock exchange built to serve the next generation of iconic public companies and their investors. The LTSE's mission is to create a market that rewards long-term vision and aligns companies with shareholders who invest for the long run. It achieves this through a unique set of listing standards that promote long-term thinking, stakeholder alignment, and transparent governance, differentiating it from traditional exchanges that can incentivize short-term focus. The exchange was approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in May 2019 and began trading its first listed companies in 2021.
