What are the requirements for a private company to be included in EquityZen's offerings?
Typically, our investors are looking for investments in later-stage technology companies with a profile of over $50M in VC funding from top quartile firms, Series C or later, with the objective of finding investments that may exit in the next 2-5 years.
Not all companies on the EquityZen platform will achieve an IPO or other exit, and not all exits will result in successful investments.
Can I choose what options/shares to sell?
Yes, before completing a transaction, you can choose from which grant or share certificate the shares are sold.
