Summary:
EquityZen launches searchable pre-IPO marketplace
Why It Matters:
The platform has moved from a static landing page to a functional marketplace. This allows users to filter and search for specific private companies and see estimated valuations before signing up.
What Changed:
- Replaced the static homepage with a searchable marketplace interface.
- Added a sidebar with 12 new search filters including "Discount to Last Valuation," "VC Investors," and "Industry Groups."
- Expanded the featured company list from 15 to 20 firms, adding new names like Neuralink, Canva, and Discord.
- Added detailed company descriptions and "Last Round Price" data points to the preview cards.
- Updated the page title to emphasize "Marketplace" over "Invest in Private Companies."
