BALDERTON CAPITAL WORKSHOP AT SLUSH 2019

Secondary transactions for high-growth startups: how to do it right.

Secondary transactions for high-growth startups: how to do it right.

Join us for breakfast, and a chance to learn what you need to know about how to do secondary transactions the right way.

During fast growth, most founders face challenges around how to retain employees, address pressure from early investors, clean up cap tables, and access partial liquidity for themselves to help them focus on the business.

Since launching Liquidity I in 2018 — Europe’s first ‘secondary’ venture fund — Balderton’s Laura Connell and Daniel Waterhouse have met with many late-stage, fast-growth startups to discuss and implement secondary transactions. 

In this workshop, they will share what they’ve learned about how to execute secondary transactions successfully. 

Who should attend:

Investors, founders and early shareholder employees at European-founded high-growth, late-stage startups

[RSVP for the workshop here]

9:00 - 10:30 am

Friday, 22nd November

Laura and Daniel will be conducting this invite-only workshop

In October 2018, Balderton launched Liquidity I, Europe's first venture fund dedicated to acquiring minority stakes, between regular fund-raising rounds, in late-stage, high-growth startups. 

These secondary transactions are designed to make it possible for early shareholders - including angels, seed funds, current and former founders and employees - to realise early returns, reinvest capital in the ecosystem, or reward founders and early employees.
