Prior to the Pink Sheets in the early 1900’s, over the counter markets were completely fragmented. Up until 1999 the OTC stock prices (the buy and sell prices) were printed on pink colored sheets of paper and sent to stock brokerage firms and investment houses. That is why the investment community used the term Pink Sheets.
IPO Consulting Services became the 1st company ever to take a private company public on the Pink Sheets by making their securities DTC eligible without audited financial statements by using a Regulation A. This is significant for small companies and even start-up’s who may want to go public fast.
