In today’s market, companies are staying private for much longer than they used to. Amazon went public at a $300M valuation. Today, tech companies are going public in the $10B+ range. The highest investment returns have shifted from the public markets to the private markets. As an investor, this makes it essential that you gain an earlier entry point to these companies by investing in private company shares.
Over the last decade, many platforms have been established that make entering investments smoother and more accessible by grouping investors together into one investing vehicle. However, these platforms are typically inflexible when it comes to exiting investments - in many cases your funds are locked until an IPO or acquisition.
We are designed to be more investor friendly, enabling investors to sell their positions before an exit event - whether it's to lock in a gain or because you need liquidity, we understand that flexibility is important.
Our team of experts uses an incredible amount of information to determine the best companies to invest in and feature on the platform. While each situation is unique, generally we target the following companies:
Mid-to-late stage in terms of financing (Series C or later)
Growing fast
Part of a large market and industry
Solid financials - positive earnings or have a clear path to it
Incredible leadership team
Potential to exit within the next 5 years, ideally in 1-3 years
Tokenfolio purchases shares from current and former employees, early investors and advisors of the company. For individuals, they are typically selling only a portion of their holdings in order to cover costs associated with exercising and paying taxes on the remainder of their shares, for life events such as purchasing a home or preparing for a child, or to diversify their holdings. For funds, they have typically invested very early and need to return money to their own investors.
