Our Story

The idea of a transparent marketplace to buy and sell shares in private companies came to Noel when he needed liquidity to do life things in 2021. He was an early employee at Rubrik for 5 years before leaving to embark on a journey of his own. When it came time to buy a house and buy an engagement ring, he realized most of his net worth was in a single illiquid private stock.

It turned out you could sell shares in private companies. And Noel did complete a transaction. But it was time-consuming (4 months to find a buyer), expensive, and he was really unsure if he was getting a good price. Why not build a transparent marketplace where investors and shareholders could see who is buying/selling what, at what price, and in what volume?

Noel met Adam, who led institutional trading in private stock at SharesPost back in the Facebook IPO days. The rest is history.
