Startup2Startup: The Private Company Stock Market (Part 2)

Who needs the public markets? IPOs are so last century. The secondary market for stock in private companies has created an opportunity for shareholders to get liquidity once again, and investors are jumping in head first. But how can companies benefit from the secondary market? How do you sell your shares on a secondary market? How are shares valued, and what are the mechanics behind the secondary market? Or perhaps you'd just like to know how you can buy some of these elusive shares? For good measure we'll be selling shares of the top five start-ups in Silicon Valley to all attendees! I bet that got your attention, didn't it? Well, we might not be selling start-ups shares at the event, but Barry Silbert, founder of SecondMarket, will be educating all of us on how we can buy and sell start-up shares of some of the hottest companies by talking about a world he invented six years ago.
