Secondary Transactions, on Both Sides of the Trade.
Sell Side Securities™ connects holders of private-company shares with qualified buyers, and buyers with holders, through a confidential, relationship-led process.
For Funds and Limited Partners
Venture and growth funds often hold value on paper long after their LPs expect cash. A secondary sale can turn part of that value into distributions.
Direct Secondaries
For funds selling portfolio-company shares to turn MOIC into DPI.
For Companies Raising Capital
The Sell Side Network™
For companies seeking $5M or more in private credit or private equity. We introduce companies to unaffiliated capital allocators and to partners who run capital raises and M&A processes. We don’t raise capital ourselves.
Who We Work With
Buyers of secondary shares look for scale, investor interest and a record they can evaluate. That’s why our secondary work focuses on companies valued at $500 million or more, with most of it above $1 billion, and on positions of $500,000 or more.
If your position falls below these thresholds, we’ll tell you so plainly. Buyers we work with must be accredited investors, and we prefer qualified purchasers.
