Why are Discounts BIGGER for Fund Secondary than Company Secondary?
D
C
B
Fewer Buyers, More Arbitrage
Because there are fewer buyers specializing in Fund
Secondary and because many sellers are competing
for liquidity, buyers have greater leverage relative to
sellers. Fund Secondary is a buyer’s market.
Basket of Assets, Harder to Value
Fund Secondary is often heavily discounted because
it’s more complex to evaluate a basket of assets
than just a single company. As former managers and
LPs in over 40 venture funds, PVC has extensive
experience evaluating multi-asset portfolios.
Fund Secondary is a
buyer’s market…
but only for buyers
who know what
they’re doing.
Unicorns Matter, Horses Discounted
Larger companies close to IPO or acquisition are in
greater demand; smaller companies that are still
growing are in less demand. Multi-asset portfolios
are valued primarily based on current unicorns;
future unicorns and other non-IPO winners are more
heavily discounted.
LPs and GPs need
liquidity and partners
for multiple reasons
(not just distress).
Why do LPs and GPs Sell Winning Portfolios Early?
• HNWIs and family offices need liquidity when change happens (death, divorce, retirement)
• Corporate LPs change strategy every few years, just as CEOs/CFOs come and go
• LPs may need liquidity when purchasing a major asset (e.g., real estate)
• Market volatility and uncertainty may increase the need for cash
Non-institutional LPs may sell because:
• Sell a portion to show realized gains as they raise their next fund
• Sell to generate cash for operational expenses, recycling, or distributions
• Sell to hedge and take (some) money off the table
• Partner (raise capital) to exercise pro-rata rights
• Partner (co-invest) to increase investment in follow-on rounds
Early-stage GPs may sell (or partner):

1
We buy secondary interests in top-
performing VC funds and portfolio
companies, from LPs and GPs who
want early liquidity.
2
We buy VC portfolios at 5-10 years
maturity, after winners are already
winning and growth is accelerating.
3
Our portfolios contain pre-IPO
unicorns, after they have raised
Series B/C/D financing from top-
tier institutional VCs.
4
We have invested in thousands of
companies across 20 VC funds
with over 100 exits, 15 unicorns,
and 5 IPOs. Forbes Midas List,
2016 and 2017.
5
We are experienced investors and
startup veterans who worked at PayPal,
eBay, Founders Fund, and 500 Startups.
We’ve spent 50 years in Silicon Valley.
6
We buy VC portfolios after losing assets
are written off, when distributions are
already happening. We expect a quick
1X return of principal within 3-5 years,
and 3X or better in 5-7 years.

  • 4. What’s the Difference between Fund Secondary and Company Secondary? DIVERSIFIED: less risk exposure LESS COMPETITIVE: less activity, fewer buyers BIGGER DISCOUNTS: 25 - 50% D B D C B C Company (Direct) SecondaryFund Secondary CONCENTRATED: more risk exposure MORE COMPETITIVE: more buyers and sellers SMALLER DISCOUNTS: 0 - 20% FUND COMPANIES SLICE of LP interests across PORTFOLIO Equity stake in a SINGLE COMPANY D C B PVC advantage
  • 5. Why are Discounts BIGGER for Fund Secondary than Company Secondary? D C B Fewer Buyers, More Arbitrage Because there are fewer buyers specializing in Fund Secondary and because many sellers are competing for liquidity, buyers have greater leverage relative to sellers. Fund Secondary is a buyer’s market. Basket of Assets, Harder to Value Fund Secondary is often heavily discounted because it’s more complex to evaluate a basket of assets than just a single company. As former managers and LPs in over 40 venture funds, PVC has extensive experience evaluating multi-asset portfolios. Fund Secondary is a buyer’s market… but only for buyers who know what they’re doing. Unicorns Matter, Horses Discounted Larger companies close to IPO or acquisition are in greater demand; smaller companies that are still growing are in less demand. Multi-asset portfolios are valued primarily based on current unicorns; future unicorns and other non-IPO winners are more heavily discounted.
  • 6. LPs and GPs need liquidity and partners for multiple reasons (not just distress). Why do LPs and GPs Sell Winning Portfolios Early? • HNWIs and family offices need liquidity when change happens (death, divorce, retirement) • Corporate LPs change strategy every few years, just as CEOs/CFOs come and go • LPs may need liquidity when purchasing a major asset (e.g., real estate) • Market volatility and uncertainty may increase the need for cash Non-institutional LPs may sell because: • Sell a portion to show realized gains as they raise their next fund • Sell to generate cash for operational expenses, recycling, or distributions • Sell to hedge and take (some) money off the table • Partner (raise capital) to exercise pro-rata rights • Partner (co-invest) to increase investment in follow-on rounds Early-stage GPs may sell (or partner):

  • 9. 1 We buy secondary interests in top- performing VC funds and portfolio companies, from LPs and GPs who want early liquidity. 2 We buy VC portfolios at 5-10 years maturity, after winners are already winning and growth is accelerating. 3 Our portfolios contain pre-IPO unicorns, after they have raised Series B/C/D financing from top- tier institutional VCs. 4 We have invested in thousands of companies across 20 VC funds with over 100 exits, 15 unicorns, and 5 IPOs. Forbes Midas List, 2016 and 2017. 5 We are experienced investors and startup veterans who worked at PayPal, eBay, Founders Fund, and 500 Startups. We’ve spent 50 years in Silicon Valley. 6 We buy VC portfolios after losing assets are written off, when distributions are already happening.
