Carta and NewView partner, hoping to entice more startups to let employees sell shares early
Startups are staying private longer leaving employees, who typically take a portion of their compensation as stock they can’t sell, with little hope of early liquidity.
AI Summary
Startups are remaining private for longer periods, leaving employees with stock compensation that cannot be sold and limited early‑liquidity options. To address this, an increasing number of late‑stage startups are introducing tender offers that let employees—and often early investors—sell a portion of their shares. These transactions set a predetermined price and require the buyer to be an approved investor, providing a structured path for early share sales.
