EquityZen vs. other secondary marketplaces: Understanding the differences

EquityZen is unique in that we account for the company whose shares are being transacted as a key stakeholder in the process. Unlike some platforms, we only facilitate company-approved deals and acquire shares at the time of the transaction, avoiding the risks that a selling shareholder does not deliver shares in the future under a forward contract or that the company does not recognize the transfer in the future.
