The investors’ perspective: secondary transactions
Thursday 25 September (1630 - 1715)
Description
The panel will explore the growing popularity of secondary transactions in the venture capital market, highlighting how secondary transactions – traditionally reserved for late-stage companies – are now increasingly being used by early-stage startups to provide liquidity for investors and founders. We will discuss the benefits of secondaries, such as shorter time horizons and lower risk profiles for investors, market trends and the impact on the European venture-backed tech scene.
