In the public markets, each company has a shorthand series of characters that people can use to refer to them quickly. This is called a ticker symbol. Crucially, a ticker symbol is widely accepted by the markets, creating a universal taxonomy for all companies.
EquityZen is proud to provide ticker symbols for all private companies. Our proprietary algorithm takes into consideration the company's name, notable characteristics, and a history of past ticker symbols utilized by other firms in order to derive the best representative ticker symbol for a given company.
If you are a representative authority for a private company featured on the EquityZen platform, and you are interested in requesting a change to the company's given ticker symbol, please send an email to issuers@equityzen.com with the following subject:
