Investors who are unable to secure shares in AI startups during funding rounds are increasingly turning to secondary markets to purchase shares in buzzy companies such as Dataminr, Hugging Face, and Anthropic. Secondary markets provide an opportunity for founders, employees, VC funds, and other investors to sell shares before an IPO or exit is announced. According to EquityZen, a secondary marketplace for private shares, AI and machine learning startups have been the most in-demand sectors this year, accounting for 25-30% of total investor demand across categories. AngelList, which manages funding transactions for VC firms and investors, has also noticed a significant increase in secondary rounds for the sales of shares in AI startups. Finally, ForgeGlobal, a marketplace for secondary transactions of startup shares, is seeing similar excitement from investors in AI startups, and Venture Capitalists are looking to increase their positions in these startups.
