Every deal starts from zero.

The private markets information gap costs intermediaries hours per deal — and deals.

01
No standardized pricing
Indicative pricing for private company shares lives in email threads, WhatsApp groups, and broker memory. There is no Bloomberg terminal for secondaries.
02
Information asymmetry is severe
Sellers know their cap table. Buyers don't. Transfer restriction terms are buried in subscription agreements nobody has standardized.
03
Every deal rebuilds from scratch
Every intermediary rebuilds the same research on the same companies. Hours of duplicated effort before a single NDA is signed.

The information layer
private markets is missing.

AI-powered private company intelligence for secondaries intermediaries

We built the tool
we needed at EquityZen.

Private markets are the least transparent corner of finance. Cap table data lives in lawyers' files. Transfer restriction terms are buried in subscription agreements. Indicative pricing exists only in broker memory and group chats.

Every intermediary rebuilds the same research from scratch on every deal. That's the problem Prism is built to solve.

We started here because we lived this problem firsthand — spending hours per deal on basic company intelligence that should have been available in minutes. The information layer private markets needs has never been built. We're building it.

Founder origin story
The whitespace nobody has filled.

The secondaries market for private company shares has grown dramatically — but the research infrastructure hasn't kept pace. While public markets have Bloomberg terminals, earnings databases, and analyst coverage, private markets have email threads and relationship networks.

EquityZen was where the problem became undeniable. Every deal required rebuilding cap table intelligence, hunting for transfer restriction terms, and triangulating indicative pricing from scattered sources. The information asymmetry wasn't a feature — it was a tax on every transaction.

Prism is the aggregation layer that stops every intermediary from starting from zero. Cap table data, transfer restrictions, indicative pricing — structured, searchable, and ready when a deal lands on your desk.

The origin
EquityZen — firsthand exposure
Lived the pain of rebuilding private company research from scratch on every secondary deal. Saw how much time was wasted on information that should already exist.
The insight
The information layer is the gap
The most underserved problem in private markets isn't deal execution — it's the research layer that precedes it. No standardized pricing, no aggregated cap table data, no transfer restriction database.
The build
Prism — AI-powered research aggregation
Building the Bloomberg terminal for private markets secondaries — starting with AI-synthesized company intelligence and expanding toward proprietary pricing data and network effects.
The endgame
Proprietary data flywheel
As more intermediaries use Prism to work their deals, contributed transaction data creates the first standardized pricing mechanism private markets has ever had.
