Listen "Bad trades are part of the business"
Episode Synopsis
On this week’s Trader Talk, host Kenny Polcari sits down with Atish Davda, CEO and cofounder of EquityZen, to discuss how average investors can gain access to pre-IPO shares in private tech companies. Davda explains how EquityZen connects shareholders, often early employees at high-growth startups, with accredited investors looking to buy in before an IPO. With private markets becoming increasingly important to diversified portfolios, Davda breaks down how the platform works, what makes a company investable, and how these trades differ from traditional public stock transactions. If you have ever wanted to own a slice of the next big tech company before Wall Street gets in, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how that is possible.
