Frequently Asked Questions
The Secondary market provides liquidity for investors and founders, enabling them to access the value of their investments promptly. Overall, these markets foster growth, stability, and financial flexibility for all stakeholders.
SecondLane is the leading secondary market for Web3 companies, provides a platform for people to unlock liquidity for unvested tokens, equity, SAFTS, and other digital assets.
Selling a part of your illiquid portfolio on the secondary market before the project goes public with a TGE (token generation event) or IPO can help to de-risk your portfolio. Platforms like SecondLane offer a valuable opportunity to unlock the worth of people’s investments without relying on the company's public debut as well as also avoiding the possibility of the listed token plummeting due to negative market sentiments. Investors and early employees holding equity in private companies benefit from the secondary market as it provides a means to unlock the value of their investments without having to wait for the company to go public. This flexibility allows them to access funds when needed or capitalize on other investment opportunities.
With founders being so selective with direct investors on the cap table, secondary markets offer investors an alternative route to participate in such investments by purchasing someone else’s existing stake. Secondary markets also often lead to quicker liquidity. For Web3 companies, it usually takes around 2-7 years from (pre)seed to liquidity, while for companies in more traditional sectors, it can take over 10 years. Investing in a project on the secondary market can save you years of waiting. A third major benefit of secondary markets for buyers is that secondary investments tend to carry lower default risks. Similar to late-stage funds, despite potentially receiving a lower ROI due to higher company valuations, the risk of failure for companies at later stages is much lower than your typical startup. This makes investing in secondary markets very appealing for investors looking for a balance between risk and reward.
Investment opportunities posted on this website are "private placements" of securities that are not publicly traded, are subject to holding period requirements, and are intended for investors who do not need a liquid investment. Investing in private companies may be considered highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of substantial loss of investment. Investors must be able to afford the loss of their entire investment. See our Risk Factors for a more detailed explanation of the risks involved by investing through SecondLane platform.
