Why Sell?
Take Action on Your Pre-IPO Shares
Fund Life's Milestones
Buy a new home, plan your dream wedding or start a family. Companies operate on their own terms and timeline when it comes to liquidity programs and IPO plans. You don't have to put your life on hold.
Diversify Your Portfolio
Take control of your personal portfolio. Get liquidity to invest elsewhere or to save. You don't need to bear the risks of having your net worth tied up in one company.
Gain Financial Independence
Get cash to pay down your student loans, cover your mortgage, or fund your child's tuition. Working for a private company shouldn't mean you have to take on more debt.
Exercise Options with Confidence
Exercise with a clear path to liquidity. Companies often provide only 90 days to exercise after you leave. You have earned your shares, you don't need to choose between letting them expire and the uncertainty of exercising without an IPO on the horizon.
