Secondaries, optimised for liquidity, upside, and control.
See the benefitsThe best way for founders of high-growth companies to put their equity to work – accessing instant liquidity, diversified future upside, and a community of peers who benefit from each other’s success.
The benefits
Secondaries, designed for founders.
Immediate liquidity
Receive a day-one distribution of up to 15% net of your contribution through a non-dilutive, non-taxable, non-recourse loan secured against the portfolio.
Diversified upside
Preserve your upside and increase the likelihood of returns on a part of your holdings, diversifying across industries, sectors, maturity, and asset class.
Retain voting rights
Voting rights on transferred shares are assigned back to the founder, allowing you to maintain full control and decision-making power.
Tax and price efficiency
Reinvest in high-growth companies at the last round valuation on a pre-tax basis and receive an early distribution tax-deferred.
Institutional Access
Receive an allocation in a curated portfolio approved by a world class Committee, with full visibility on the portfolio prior to committing.
Founder community
Join a trusted community of exceptional founders who are financially aligned and incentivised to support each other’s success.
Compared to secondaries
On a traditional 10m secondary, after discounts, taxes, and cash to spend, you’re left with half the available capital to reinvest.

Collective Equity
Our portfolio companies
Founder experiences
I participated in Collective Equity because it provided a balance of diversification, a financial interest in similar stage businesses, and access to a network of like-minded entrepreneurs each with a vested interest in each other's success. It’s a brilliant way to foster collaboration and share the journey with your peers – it’s a no brainer.
Paul Ford
Founder at Acin (Exited) Limited Partner Fund II
Collective Equity provided enough liquidity for me to buy my home and support other life priorities – without stepping away from future growth on those shares. Participating has strengthened my position as a founder rather than diluting it.
Will Pearson
CEO & Founder at Ocean Bottle, Limited Partner in CEO III LP
We like the Collective Equity model for our founders - by releasing a modest percentage of their shareholding in their own business, they effectively invest in multiple businesses. This de-risking means our founders don’t have all their eggs in one basket so they can aim for a higher outcome for their own business.
Simon Murdoch
Founding Partner at Episode 1
Collective Equity has developed a powerful mechanism that allows founders to diversify a small portion of their eventual net worth through strategic investments in similar ventures led by other brilliant founders. This additional opportunity for liquidity through Collective Equity significantly enhances founders' resilience and bolsters their prospects for success.
