Investing in Venture Secondaries - [Business Breakdowns, EP.193]

  • Summary

  • Today, we are covering the increasingly thematic market of venture secondaries. My guest is Ravi Viswanathan, founder and managing partner of NewView Capital. We cover some of the basics around these transactions because so much of private markets are bespoke. And while Ravi confirmed that the bespoke nature makes each individual secondary deal unique, there are consistencies in terms of how they approach the opportunity. We discuss the various players in the market and their motivations for buying and selling, whether they are VC sellers, founders, employee sellers, or VC buyers. Ravi lays out the structural dynamics that are likely to make this a larger market well into the future. Please enjoy this Breakdown of venture secondaries.
