Private company marketplaces will provide liquidity for employees and investors while also giving companies access to growth capital. As these marketplaces grow and more companies adopt alternative liquidity programs, the lines will blur between late stage venture funds and hedge funds. Private company secondary markets are becoming more institutionalized as the majority of transactions move to listed marketplaces with regulatory oversight. This will further push out IPO timelines and expand the large, private late stage market.

Valuations: What is happening and does it matter?taliagold
This document analyzes valuation multiples and growth trends across different technology sectors including software as a service, marketplaces, consumer internet, and e-commerce from 1999-2015. It finds that while consumer internet multiples have remained steady in the past 5-10 years, SaaS valuations have increased 30-100% making it harder to generate high returns. Marketplace models command higher multiples than traditional e-commerce. Growth rates below 30% often lead to multiple compression. The document concludes that while valuations have increased, the sectors are not in a bubble and remain attractive compared to legacy sectors.
