Our vision is to unlock the value of shares of private unicorn and late-stage companies

THE ELEPHANT MARKETPLACE

Thelephant.io is an Israeli-owned global platform that operates as a secondary marketplace for private tech shares. The platform presents a portfolio of private shares in late-stage private tech companies, which are offered for sale by private shareholders.

Through our comprehensive trading, data and company solutions, we make it easier to trade private shares, manage company-sponsored liquidity programs, and access data to inform private market strategy and unlock value in the private markets.

Since 2015, The Elephant has worked with over a hundred private companies to provide shareholder liquidity. By working with companies, Elephant enables shareholders to execute stock transfers in compliance with the companies’ procedures and policies.

The platform bridges the gap between sellers and buyers, otherwise dependent on the company’s actions to liquidate their assets (IPO/M&A/primary combined with secondary).

The Company was named as a one of the top 100 innovative companies in Europe in 2016.
