Exploring Secondaries with Sim Desai from Hiive

📈 The $200M/Month Marketplace Reshaping Venture Capital Secondaries 🚀 What happens when you take the chaos of private market secondaries—and apply the rigor, scale, and transparency of a tech platform? You get Hiive. In this episode, I sit down with Sim Desai, Founder & CEO of Hiive, the fastest-growing platform for VC secondaries. With over $200M in monthly transaction volume and a user base that's transforming how liquidity works in private markets, Hiive is building the Nasdaq for venture-backed startups—before they ever go public. We explore: ✅ The wild history of secondaries—from early Facebook trades to today’s unicorn bottlenecks ✅ Why founders restricting employee liquidity may be shooting themselves in the foot ✅ The difference between GP-led, LP-led, and company secondaries (and why the last one is exploding) ✅ Bid-ask spreads, illiquidity discounts, and how tech is narrowing the gap ✅ How transparency is the unlock for both premium valuations and happier employees ✅ Hiive's “Hiive 50” index—and what it says about the future of private market pricing 💡 “In the boom times, secondaries explode—not because sellers are desperate, but because buyers get competitive.” — Sim Desai We also talk about: 🔹 The role of brokers vs. tech platforms (and why they’ll co-exist) 🔹 Why VCs are converting into RIAs to play in this market 🔹 The rise of model disclosures—1-page KPI reports that drive liquidity without revealing your “secret sauce” 🔹 What the opening of the IPO window could mean for the next wave of venture liquidity This episode is a must-watch if you’re a founder, operator, investor—or just curious about the invisible engine behind the modern venture ecosystem. 🎧 Listen in, and see how Hiive is centralizing a fragmented market and giving founders and employees the liquidity they were promised. 📌 Where to find Sim Desai: • Hiive: https://www.hiive.com 📌 Where to find Rohit Yadav: • Newsletter: All Things VC → https://yadavrohit.substack.com/
