How secondaries work

Private · Non-binding · No obligation to sell

Private-company shareholder reviewing a business opportunity
Early Access

SUMMIT is live in Early Access. Investing and transaction execution are not live yet.

Who is this for?

Founders seeking partial liquidity

Employees and former employees with equity

Angel and early investors

Existing private-company shareholders

Private shares shouldn’t mean no options.

Founders, employees, angels and early investors may sometimes want partial or full liquidity before an exit. But private shares can carry company approvals, pre-emption rights and other transfer restrictions, while suitable buyers are difficult to discover. Not every holding is transferable.

What happens next

How Early Access works

01

Tell us about the holding

Share the company, your relationship to it and the shares you own or expect to own.

02

Describe what you may sell

Tell us the amount you might consider selling, without creating an obligation.

03

SUMMIT reviews the details

We review the information and relevant company or shareholder transfer restrictions.

04

Test potential demand

Where suitable and permitted, SUMMIT may test non-binding buyer interest.

05

Future transactions follow due process

Any transaction would require company approvals, legal transfer steps, eligibility and regulated infrastructure.

There is no guaranteed buyer, liquidity, price or timeline. Private-share transaction execution is not live on SUMMIT.

Discreet by default.

A potential opportunity can be presented anonymously. Sensitive company, shareholder and holding information is not simply published openly and remains subject to controlled access.

Questions, answered.
