I am founder and CEO of Exivest [http://exivest.com/ http://exivest.com/]. We help startup employees value their equity, help match them with direct buyers or arrange synthetic liquidity.
We've talked to many startup employees and they all have given positive feedback. One concern that comes up is that startups are not OK with changing the cap table for tiny transactions. In that case, we have plans to offer synthetic liquidity solutions via derivative transactions.
We'd like to hire your thoughts on the problem we are solving and our approach so far.

- tlb 11y agoI think the key to this business is getting both employees and founders/board/investors to like you. In practice, the board will prefer some secondary markets and that will drive most of your business. Boards care about the stock not getting into the wrong hands, such as activist investors or hostile acquirers. So being able to offer the board "we'll give employees liquidity, hold your stock without voting it, and not sell till N months after the IPO" would make the difference.
