Problem
Individual investors, founders, and family offices who gained access to top private equity and venture capital funds over the past decade face a broken exit infrastructure designed for large institutions with $30M+ positions. Below that threshold, sellers are left to find a buyer themselves, often receiving a single, lowball offer without any independent valuation or competitive tension, while the operational complexity of transfers further complicates the process.
Solution
ClearingStakes brings the institutional secondary market process to stakes as small as $1M. The company conducts an independent assessment of the asset, then simultaneously approaches its network of 500+ qualified buyers using AI-powered matching to identify those with current appetite for the specific asset type, geography, and vintage. Buyers compete, generating a binding offer at the best price competitive tension can produce, which the seller reviews and decides whether to accept. ClearingStakes manages all operational complexity, including GP consents, transfer restrictions, NDA management, and legal documentation, from submission to closing.
Target Audience
Primary customers are individual investors, founders, and family offices holding private equity or venture capital fund stakes between $1M and $30M who lack access to traditional secondary market advisors.
