NEW YORK, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EquityZen, an online marketplace for investing in pre-IPO companies, announces the launch of its Private Market Map and Market Score, a powerful view into the private market to inform and empower investors through advanced data-driven insights. By leveraging EquityZen’s proprietary market data, users get a holistic view of potential investment opportunities for private companies on the secondary market.
“EquityZen is advancing our mission of building ‘private markets for the public’ by arming our clients with essential tools to help them to navigate the pre-IPO market with knowledge and confidence,” said Atish Davda, CEO and co-founder of EquityZen added. “Sophisticated institutional investors can afford a staff to track insights on private companies. By launching the Private Market Map and Market Score, EquityZen has taken a few more steps towards putting institutional-level insights at the fingertips of the widest possible audience of investors and shareholders. Providing qualified individuals and advisors with tools to learn about, explore, and evaluate trading in private companies is critical as more investors and advisors seek to grow the share of alternatives in investors’ portfolios.”
The Private Market Map offers a visual representation of 100 private companies organized by market capitalization (displayed by the size of each company in the map) and other insights based on EquityZen’s new proprietary Market Score. The Market Score is provided for each company on the map and represents a collective metric bringing together individual data characteristics that have proven to be critical factors in private market transactions – transactability, liquidity, recent activity and popularity.
