What our clients are saying
Designed to help limit your personal risk
Compatible with company restrictions
We have worked with most of the late stage private companies out there.
No personal recourse. No personal assets on the line
You only owe the amount financed plus a fee when your company goes public or gets acquired.
No repayment until liquidation event
You don’t pay anything until your company goes public or gets acquired. If they don’t, you don't pay it back. Really.
Here's who you'll work with

John Klingler
Senior Manager, Equity StrategyHere's what people are asking
It depends on several factors, such as your desire to retain share ownership, the availability of a secondaries market for your company shares, company policies on transfers, and whether you need funds to exercise your options. If unsure, our equity strategists can help you decide.
Anyone can submit a request, but we typically work with later-stage companies. Ideally, you hold equity in a company expected to exit within a few years., with $150M+ ARR, and $1B+ valuation. We encourage you to submit a request so our team can review your eligibility.
Secfi generates revenue through fees associated with our services:
- Secondaries: 5% transaction fee for brokering the deal and supporting you throughout the process.
- Financing: 5% platform fee, an Advance Rate (similar to interest) , and Equity Share (based on your stock’s exit value). Specific rates depend on your company and stock options.
Not exactly. We offer non-recourse financing - backed by your stock options, so your personal assets are never at risk, and repayment is only required in case of an exit event.
We hope that’s not the case, but if it happens you owe nothing. No exit, no repayment - simple as that.
Nope. Your shares stay yours, always. We never take control or ownership at any point.
Do you already own your shares? We’ve got you covered.
Our Liquidity Financing allows you to get cash for your pre-IPO shares without selling.
