Investment thesis
EQUIAM addresses the institutional vacuum in secondary private equity markets. The firm targets the $1.5 trillion in illiquid positions held by employees, founders, and early investors in companies staying private for a median of 14 years. By systematically screening 2,600+ Series B+ VC-backed companies using proprietary signals and probability-weighted financial analysis, EQUIAM identifies opportunities to purchase secondary positions at attractive prices, capitalizing on natural liquidity needs before traditional exits.
