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.

They got the deal done as advertised… They got the deal done as advertised and were responsive, flexible, and knowledgable throughout. Ultimately the final steps of the deal ended up being out of their hands, but they handled the setup expertly.

Easy to use platform and great customer… Easy to use platform and great customer support.

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!

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.
