The private secondary markets are extremely liquid if you’re a household name

The user experience is nearly the same as cash if you have an ounce of interest in having cash

You need company approval to sell yeah? That could be a major issue.

  • the industry secret is "not really", no, you don't

    way before private secondaries got big, there were boutique funds and lawyers that set up the contracts and structures to circumvent this friction

    and most companies do not care about that covenant, they care about the optics around their cap table to attract other investors and also satisfy securities regulators
