Private Secondary Liquidity Solutions for Employee Shareholders
June 2026
Navigating the private secondary market as a current or former employee can feel overwhelming. Balancing corporate insider policies, strict transfer restrictions, and your relationship with your employer requires absolute discretion and specialized broker guidance.
As a US registered securities broker operating under Rainmaker Securities (a FINRA/SIPC member broker-dealer), I specialize in helping employee holders quickly, legally, and quietly unlock value from their equity. To date, I have facilitated tens of millions of dollars in completed sales for employee shareholders.
What We Solve For Employee Shareholders
For most employees, equity represents a significant portion of their net worth, but it is locked up in a highly illiquid “black box.” We design our entire process to eliminate the primary friction points employee holders face:
- Absolute Seller Control: You remain in complete control of the timeline and the narrative. You decide exactly when you want to look at market bids, when you want to speak with a prospective buyer, and whether or not to transact. There is never any obligation or pressure to move forward.
- Risk-Free, Non-Exclusive Terms: Our engagements are non-exclusive. We believe we have to earn your business every day. If you find a better liquidity path elsewhere, you are free to take it.
- Zero Upfront Costs & Performance-Based Billing: We only bill a commission after your transaction is fully cleared and the wire transfer has landed safely in your bank account. Our commissions range from 2% to 5% depending entirely on the overall size of the transaction. If you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.
- Protection of Corporate Relationships: Navigating your company’s internal legal, HR, and investor relations departments can be daunting. We serve as a professional buffer, guiding you through company transfer notices, corporate Right of First Refusal (ROFR) clocks, and internal approval processes without creating friction with your management team.
End-to-End Hands-On Help
Selling private stock is not a self-service digital checkout. It requires a dedicated peer to manage the complexities. I handle the heavy lifting every step of the way:
- Rigorous Buyer Screening: We completely eliminate tire-kickers and market noise. I personally screen every single buyer to ensure they are fully accredited, sophisticated institutional investors who have verified cash ready to deploy.
- Strategic Price Negotiation: Instead of forcing you to accept low-ball bids, I actively negotiate with buyers to help you reach your specific net price targets.
- Streamlined Execution: Once an agreement is reached, I prepare all necessary transaction documents for your signature, manage the timeline across all parties, and answer your questions directly at any hour.
Institutional Experience, Off-Platform Distribution
My advisory background includes over 20 years of helping institutional fund managers build deep cross-border relationships and raise over $1.5 billion in capital. Today, I use that exact network to find liquidity for holders in top-tier private growth companies. In the past, we’ve helped employees at firms like Zipline, Flexport, Kraken, Gecko Robotics, Moonpay, and Discord to unlock value.
Our buy-side demand is driven by private family offices and regional institutions. Because these buyers operate quietly off the main platforms, your transaction retains a level of confidentiality and premium execution that public platforms simply cannot replicate.
