April 28, 2011 4:01 PM EDT
The IPO for Next Innovation Corp. (Nasdaq: GSVC) is open for trading. Shares are trading at $14.69 after pricing at $15.

The offering was led by Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. and Lazard Capital Markets.

From the Prospectus:
"We are a newly formed, externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that intends to elect to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act prior to the pricing of this offering. Our investment objective is to maximize our portfolio’s total return, principally by seeking capital gains on our equity investments. We intend to invest principally in the equity securities of venture capital-backed, rapidly growing emerging companies. We may also invest on an opportunistic basis in select publicly-traded equity securities of rapidly growing companies that otherwise meet our investment criteria. In addition, while we intend to invest primarily in U.S. companies, we may invest on an opportunistic basis in certain non-U.S. companies, including those located in emerging markets, that otherwise meet out investment criteria, although in no event will the aggregate value of our non-U.S. investments exceed 30% of the aggregate value of our total investment portfolio. We intend to acquire our investments primarily through private secondary market transactions and, to a lesser extent, through transactions executed on public securities exchanges and direct investments in our portfolio companies. Our investment activities will be managed by NeXt Asset Management. NeXt Innovation Service Company will provide the administrative services necessary for us to operate."
