What is the Private Secondary Market?

When shareholders of private, venture-backed companies such as employees, ex-employees, or early investors want to transfer ownership of their equity prior to a public listing, they enter the secondary market. This ecosystem provides essential liquidity in an era of prolonged private cycles.

The Prolific Secondary Market (and what that means)

The length of time it takes for a company to go public contributes to the thriving and prolific nature of the current secondary landscape. High-growth enterprises are maturing internally, capturing value that was once reserved for public market participants.

The Cost of Secondary Market Shares

Unlike primary markets, secondary market shares are usually priced based on the latest round of funding. However, more nuanced factors including volume, lock-up periods, and right of first refusal (ROFR) mechanics play a critical role in establishing final acquisition costs.
