Pre-IPO Liquidity & Secondary Tracker
The most recent real liquidity events in private tech — employee tenders, secondary share sales, buybacks, IPOs and acquisitions — each dated and sourced. We track the journey from private to liquid; an IPO or acquisition row marks the moment a company leaves “pre-IPO.”

How we verify. Every row is confirmed against a company announcement, an exchange listing, or top-tier reporting (Reuters, Bloomberg, Financial Times). We keep the distinction between a completed transaction and one that is reported / underway — a reported insider sale is not proof it has closed. We show the reported valuation; aggregate proceeds and exact settlement dates are often undisclosed and left out rather than inferred. When a company IPOs or is acquired we mark it here and remove it from our sellable pre-IPO company pages. If we can’t source it, it isn’t here — so the list runs shorter than it could, on purpose.
