Nasdaq Private Market 2021 Annual Report
Strong Secondary Valuations Drive 2021 Growth and Continued Transformation of Private Markets
Dramatic demand from both traditional and nontraditional investors is underpinning the transformation of the private market ecosystem. Primary deal cadence and size remain elevated for companies, and secondaries have evolved as an avenue to provide investment allocations to strategic investors not able to engage via primary fundraising rounds. Companies of all stages have benefited from the surge in demand, but they face new obstacles to efficiently connect with a fragmented market of investors while unlocking secondary capital at prevailing market valuations.
