we provide custom liquidity solutions to private companies and their employees, and offer pre-IPO opportunities to institutions and investors.

Keep in mind that certain companies trade more often than others; we see the most activity in companies that have received late-stage funding (e.g. Series D+) and have enterprise valuations of $2B+.  

Place a non-binding buy or sell order via our trade page.

For urgent or special requests, please reach out directly.

One of our registered representatives will reach out to you as soon as your order is ready for closing.

You can complete client on-boarding/KYC steps and e-sign all transaction documents conveniently and securely.

The transaction closing process is completed via our proprietary online platform.

But first, our compliance team will review your documents and, if approved, countersign and allow you to transact. On-boarding is a one-time exercise.

Your transaction documents will be countersigned by the appropriate parties to confirm your transaction.

Currently, this process takes from 1-3 days. Note that the only fee is a one-time commission, typically around 5%. There are no management fees.

To finalize the purchase, the investor’s capital is submitted and then transferred to the selling shareholder.

Some shareholders may not have immediately transferred their shares and rather entered into a forward contract requiring the delivery of shares once possible (i.e., after IPO, acquisition, etc.). We will be there to help when that happens.  

Investors are done. Depending on the transaction structure, shareholders may have a bit more to do.
