Frequently asked questions
How does SharesPost source proprietary deal flow?
SharesPost sources liquidity opportunities through its secondary trading platform, where company shareholders—employees, early investors, and founders—list or sell stakes. This marketplace creates proprietary deal flow that the firm can then allocate into its managed investment vehicles.
Does SharesPost participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
SharesPost participates primarily in direct secondary purchases and tender offers, but also structures fund vehicles that invest across multiple private company positions. The firm does not appear to commit capital to external funds as an LP but instead constructs its own portfolios.
