Investor Relations
Trillions in private company value sit locked behind institutional gates. PEQUITY is building the trading infrastructure that gives every investor access to secondary shares in the world's most innovative pre-IPO companies.
Investment Thesis
Three forces are converging to create an unprecedented opportunity in secondary private equity trading.
The median time to IPO has stretched from 4 years to over 12 years. Employees, early investors, and funds holding illiquid shares need a way out. The secondary market is the pressure valve for a system that has fundamentally changed.
A new generation of investors wants exposure to pre-IPO companies. They watched traditional IPOs deliver massive first-day pops to institutional allocations and want in earlier. The regulatory framework is evolving to support broader access.
Today's secondary market is opaque, broker-driven, and manual. Price discovery is poor, settlement takes weeks, and compliance is a patchwork. The infrastructure layer is ripe for a technology-first rebuild.

Global private equity AUM has quadrupled in the past decade. More capital locked in private companies means more demand for secondary liquidity solutions.
SEC modernization of accredited investor rules and Regulation A+ are expanding who can participate in private markets. The regulatory trajectory favors broader access.
IPO volumes remain well below historical averages. With fewer exits, secondary markets become the primary liquidity mechanism for shareholders and the primary entry point for new investors.
The Platform
PEQUITY connects buyers, sellers, and issuing companies on a single platform purpose-built for private share transactions.
Our proprietary valuation engine ingests 50+ data signals per company including funding rounds, revenue estimates, employee growth, comparable public multiples, and secondary transaction history. Every trade sharpens the model, creating a compounding data advantage that new entrants cannot replicate.
Revenue Model
A take rate on every share transaction processed through the platform. Revenue scales linearly with trading volume and requires no capital commitment to inventory.
Managed funds providing diversified exposure to pre-IPO companies. Management fees plus carry create high-margin, predictable revenue with significant upside potential.
Institutional-grade private company intelligence, valuation models, and market data sold to funds, family offices, and corporate development teams.
Defensibility
More buyers attract more sellers. More sellers attract more buyers. Liquidity begets liquidity. Once a marketplace achieves critical mass, the switching cost for both sides becomes prohibitive.
Broker-dealer licensing, ATS registration, and SEC reporting are table stakes. The compliance infrastructure alone takes 18+ months and millions to build. PEQUITY has it operational.
Every transaction enriches our valuation models. Proprietary data on private company financials, employee growth, and secondary pricing creates an intelligence moat that compounds with each trade.
Direct relationships with company CFOs, general counsels, and cap table administrators. These relationships take years to develop and are the key to unlocking supply-side flow.
More trades improve pricing accuracy, which attracts more participants, which generates more data. This virtuous cycle accelerates with scale and cannot be replicated without transaction flow.
Buyers, sellers, and issuers each add value for the other two sides. Issuer partnerships unlock supply. Buyer demand drives pricing. This multi-sided network creates higher switching costs than any two-sided marketplace.
