Secondary Market OG, according to TechCrunch.
I solve liquidity problems for late-stage companies and their shareholders after we enter primary
rounds.
As a Founder and Managing Partner of Manhattan Venture Partners, I’ve helped pioneer the institutionalization of secondary markets since 2014, growing MVP from a startup to $2.5B AUM.
Our “Land and Expand” strategy - entering at Series C+ then expanding through secondaries has delivered top decile net DPI with ~4-year hold periods, significantly outperforming industry averages.
What I Do:
Solve the private market liquidity crisis - companies staying private 13+ years with RSU cliffs while employees face expiring ISOs and GPs that are DPI challenged Deploy capital in Tomorrow’s IPOs Today™ - accessing exponential growth before public markets Deliver returns 3x faster than industry - 4-year average hold periods vs 13+ year industry standard Built the infrastructure that institutionalized venture secondaries
Portfolio Highlights:
Current: Anthropic, Agility, Base Power, Databricks, Cohere, Cohesity, Epic Games, Epirus, Figure AI, Groq, HawkEye360, Lime, RapidSOS, Revolut, SpaceX, xAI
Exit: Airbnb, Capella Space, Coinbase, DocuSign, Klarna, Kodiak Robotics, Lyft, Palantir, Pinterest, Spotify, X
We created Secondary-as-a-Service™, providing programmatic liquidity solutions that institutionalize secondary transactions for private companies.
Manhattan Venture Research became the industry gold standard for private company analysis, with 16,000+ subscribers and availability on Bloomberg terminals globally.
