Sim Shares His Expertise on How Secondaries Work and How He Convinced Investors to Give Him $4.25M in a Down Market
In this episode, I talked with Sim Desai, Founder and CEO of Hiive, a platform to buy and sell secondary shares that recently raised $4.25 Million.
Sim and I give a masterclass on the secondary market. If you’re looking to gain an insight into that world, this episode is for you. Sim also talks about his switch from a career in private equity brokerage to changing how people trade private company secondary shares with his platform, Hiive. He wants to make trading easier and clearer for everyone by using automation and transparency.
Hiive works to improve the buying and selling experience in a market that's usually not very transparent. Sim explains the regulatory hoops you’ve got to jump through to list your shares and how Hiive adds value and streamlines processes in the secondary market.
He also shares his initial fundraising adventure and the strategic thinking behind it while discussing the ups and downs of Hiive’s fundraising journey and what they learned along the way.
Here's what you're in for:
