PrivateTechShares
Small-ticket private secondaries · Europe-first

Liquidity for early-stage founders, access for private investors.

A discreet, introductions-only marketplace for €10k–€500k secondary and direct startup share deals. List anonymously, gate your data behind an NDA, pay only on a closed deal.

✓ NDA-gated data ✓ Private investors only ✓ You keep control of the transfer
The model

Two layers. One introduction.

Everyone browses the basics. Full data unlocks only after an investor signs the NDA and the success-fee agreement. We introduce the two sides — you handle the rest.

01

List the basics

Sector, stage, country, deal type, ticket range and shares offered — enough to attract the right buyer, nothing that identifies you.

Layer 1 · public
02

Gate behind the NDA

An interested investor signs a mutual NDA and the success-fee agreement in one step. Only then does the company identity, metrics and data room unlock.

Layer 2 · after signing
03

Deal direct, we take a fee on close

You negotiate, clear ROFR and board approval, and transfer directly. PrivateTechShares charges 3–5% — only when the deal actually closes.

You stay in control

Pricing

⚖︎

Introductions only — not a broker. PrivateTechShares never holds funds, gives investment advice, executes transfers or negotiates on anyone's behalf. Buyers and sellers handle ROFR, board consent, transfer and payment themselves. Access is for private investors only; nothing here is a public offering of securities.

This positioning is being confirmed in writing with a securities lawyer in our launch market before any fee is taken.

Questions

Good to know

Are you a broker or financial intermediary?
No. We run a matchmaking platform that introduces founders and private investors. We don't hold money, advise, execute trades or structure deals — the parties do all of that directly. The success fee is for the introduction.
What's visible before I sign anything?
Only Layer 1: sector, stage, country, deal type, ticket range and the share size on offer. The company name, cap table, financials and founder identity stay hidden until an investor signs the mutual NDA and the success-fee agreement.
Who pays the fee, and when?
By default the seller, at 3–5% of the deal value, payable only once the transfer actually closes. It's agreed up front in the success-fee agreement. No listing fees or subscriptions.
What about ROFR and board approval?
Those stay with you. Most shareholder agreements require the company to approve a transfer and give existing holders a right of first refusal. You clear those directly — we provide the introduction and the templates, not the execution.
Who can invest?
Private investors only — angels, operators, founders and family offices. Every investor accepts a risk disclaimer and self-certifies before accessing deal data. This is not a public offering.
What ticket sizes fit?
€10k to €500k, pre-seed through Series A, both secondary sales of existing shares and direct primary allocations. This is the small-ticket band that late-stage platforms don't serve.
