Investors

In the News

"EquityZen and others do the same for private companies. The idea of directly marketing shares to customers is old, but the new wave makes it far easier—at the click of a button—and cheaper."

WSJ

"With private tech companies staying public for longer and the number of unicorns increasing, pre-IPO investment platforms such as EquityZen offer startup employees a means to cash out some of their equity."

The Economist

"Firms that buy employee shares, like... EquityZen, have proliferated in the past few years."
