We’re excited to release our State of Tech Exits H1 '25 Report with CB Insights!
“The exit market remains muted, but liquidity isn't on the sidelines. CBInsights’ report shows that secondary transaction activity has now seen its seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. This confirms what we’re seeing at EquityZen: as tech companies stay private longer, the secondary market is providing a crucial and reliable release valve for liquidity for both employees and investors.”

The data is clear: according to this record, flat IPO/M&A means private markets are now the dominant venue for value creation. New deal structures and secondary surges are reshaping the entire ecosystem.
Investing in pre-IPO companies carries inherent risks, including the potential for loss of the entire investment, illiquidity, and fluctuations in values or returns.
