Investing in private companies, while not without risk, is becoming increasingly attractive to both seasoned investors and individuals eager to invest in the next wave of innovators. To empower investors and shareholders with the latest market information, we’re excited to launch EquityZen’s new Private Market Map. This innovative tool offers a groundbreaking view into the private market, designed to help users learn about, explore, and evaluate private companies.
The EquityZen Private Market Map is a visual representation of 100 private companies, organized by estimated market capitalization and industry. Its intuitive dashboard navigation allows users to delve into specific industries, compare companies, and gain insights such as identifying market leaders, observing sector dominance and assessing market concentration.
The Map works in tandem with our Market Score, a proprietary metric that synthesizes qualitative and quantitative data. Together, these tools provide users data-driven insights into critical market factors for private market transactions. These factors are collectively represented as the Market Score which brings together the following individual scores for each company:
- Transactability – Company’s recent willingness to allow transactions.
- Liquidity – Represents the likelihood of Buyers and Sellers aligning on terms, without predicting future results.
- Recent activity – Company’s transaction frequency in the private market over the last six months.
- Popularity – Private market participants’ interest and engagement in the company over the last 30 days.
This Private Market Map and the Market Score are made possible thanks to EquityZen’s extensive data, gathered through more than 41,000 transactions conducted over a decade. These tools represent the furthering of our mission to bring “private markets to the public” by equipping our clients with essential tools to help them to navigate the pre-IPO market with knowledge and confidence.
To learn more, you can explore the Private Market Map.
