Shares in PINCHme closed at $0.39 on 24 October, after the stock listed at $0.50. The data harvesting firm’s IPO raised $8m, and it was originally slated to list on the Australian sharemarket in September. However, the ASX had asked the company to disclose additional information to investors. PINCHme supplies consumers with free product samples in return for a range of personal data, and its panel members’ feedback is provided to the brands’ owners. PINCHme currently only operates in the US, and it has no immediate plans to establish operations in Australia.
