Currently, Linqto allows investors to gain exposure to the stock of private companies. However, this is only the first part of Linqto’s vision. The second part is to create a venue where these investments can be freely traded. If you’re imagining something like a stock exchange for private companies, you’re thinking exactly like us.
This sort of venue doesn’t currently exist, as regulations have made it too cumbersome. With the development of Linqto’s platform and the growth of the private markets, this is starting to change. Linqto is actively working with regulators to develop this sort of an exchange, and we believe it will be an incredibly important development in the private market, for Linqto and our investors.
For the time being, until this sort of venue becomes possible, investors will not have the ability to liquidate their positions before an exit. At Linqto, we do our best to feature companies which, based on our research, are actively working towards an exit. We are proud of our track record of exits, but ultimately we cannot guarantee that all of our investments will experience an exit.
