Reading Terminal Market launches $250,000 crowdfunding campaign to offset pandemic losses
Philadelphia Business Journal

Philadelphia’s historic Reading Terminal Market has launched a crowdfunding campaign for the first time in its 128-year history in efforts to offset losses from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Launched via online crowdsourcing platform GoFundMe, the campaign has a goal of $250,000 and will run through the end of 2020. As of early Friday afternoon, just over $11,000 had been raised from 116 people.

The cash will go toward helping the public market stay open seven days a week, maintaining peak HVAC and ventilation operations, and subsidizing the extra cleaning and disinfecting practices in place during the health crisis. The fund will also help one of the city’s most popular attractions continue offering its various events and community programs, such as nutrition programs and food rescue collaborations with other local nonprofits like Philabundance, said General Manager Conor Murphy.

Inside Bentley Systems’ ‘very unusual’ $235M IPO

Philadelphia Business Journal

Bentley Systems Inc., an Exton software company founded by a team of five brothers 36 years ago, reached a milestone Wednesday when it debuted on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Shares opened at $22 and shot up more than 52% to close at $33.49.

The company, a maker of leading software applications for engineers who design large infrastructure projects like the new Tappan Zee Bridge in New York —  raised more than $235 million in its IPO under the ticker symbol BSY.

Unlike other IPOs, where a company issues new shares in order to raise cash and fuel expansion, Bentley Systems is only selling shares already owned by its more than 4,000 employees. The idea is to reward those employees with liquidity, CEO Greg Bentley said, after they helped the company get to where it is today.
