About
Secondary Capital (SC) was established by veteran Private Markets Investors, active in both primary and secondary transactions since the early 2000's.

SC, as a direct secondary investor, provides liquidity to shareholders (founders, executives and other early investors) of late-stage and growth companies.

Robust leadership team

Backed by the best VC & growth funds

Valued above $500M

Liquidity providers
Founders & Executives
SC understands the deep personal sacrifices associated with being an entrepreneur. SC believes that entrepreneurs should have the opportunity to transform some of their paper wealth into cash before an exit.
Providing liquidity solutions for stock option plans contributes to retaining and attracting the best talents by accelerating employees benefit schemes. SC provides liquidity to founders and executives to realize a portion of their wealth, buy out former employees, or clean the cap table.
Early investors
Companies take on average 15-17 years to get to an IPO or M&A. This journey is too long for most investors. Plus, angel investors and seed funds often meet their return goals well before the final exit.
SC provides liquidity to early investors in order to monetize and de-risk high performing and late-stage investments, accelerate distribution path to LPs, recycle cash into promising early-stage companies with superior upside, or address end of fund life constraints.
