unique opportunities but high fees EquityZen introduced us to another entity that allowed us to succesfully invest in a pre-IPO company. It would not otherwise have been possible to make that investment. We are happy with our investment, but I do feel that the only work that Equityzen did was to introduce an interested buyer to an interested seller, and for that their 5% fee is very high.

EquityZen without asking or informing… EquityZen without asking or informing me sold my investment and bought some other investment for 50% loss and then again liquidated the new investment for 20% of the price, in net i lost 80% of my investment. This is a huge loss for me and will never trust not only EquityZen but also any other private investments. There was no transparency and I am highly suspicious with what happened. Highly recommend to stay away from this company

Good platform, but joining in frequent tender offers. It is a good platform and has many merits. My concern is that fund managers tend to join tender offers rather than reject them, meaning that your shares will be sold before its full growth (e.g., by going public or being acquired). In my experience, fund managers decided to join a tender offer for shares I held already more than 2 years. About 6 to 10 months later (I cannot remember exactly how many months), I was notified that fund managers are considering to join another tender offer. If you are an investor seeking a high-risk-high-return opportunity in unlisted company, this platform may not align with your expectation.

Good communication Good communication. Easy to work with.

Fair pricing and the best choice out of all… Fair pricing and the best choice out of all the the other companies providing access to private placements. A win for buyers and sellers!
