Private Markets Imperative: Expanding Access Beyond Institutions
Sponsored by: Forge Global
As private companies remain private for longer and capital markets continue to evolve, investors are increasingly looking to private markets for growth and diversification. Examine how technology is expanding access, improving transparency, and enhancing liquidity for a broader range of investors. Gain perspective on private company investing, secondary market opportunities, and what lies ahead for fundraising and the IPO market.
Key Topics:
Understand what private markets are and how they differ from public markets
Explore how individual investors can access and participate in private market investing across venture, growth, private equity, and secondary strategies
Assess how liquidity solutions, pricing dynamics, and data-driven platforms are reshaping how investors discover, evaluate, and transact in private companies
Continue the conversation and exchange perspectives with peers over refreshments following the program.
Guests are invited to learn more about 100 Women in Finance here and join as a new member here.
