SmithDefieux Capital Partners is the go-to source of liquidity for minority non-institutional shareholders who seek to sell some or all of their stock in private venture-backed companies. We are career-long venture capitalists who have formed a new kind of venture capital fund: we buy illiquid stock from company founders, executives, angel investors, former employees, corporate strategic investors and other minority equity holders, no matter the type or number of shares held. MORE
We allow company founders to cash-out some or all of their equity in a quick, efficient and confidential manner, without disruption to corporate governance or capitalization structure.

We provide angel investors with an exit alternative to an eventual company M&A transaction or IPO for the purpose of locking in gains or redeploying assets.

For former and current executives, we can monetize a portion or all of exercised or unexercised stock options.

We are the ideal partner for corporate investors looking to sell illiquid securities in companies that are no longer aligned with the parent’s strategic, P&L or treasury objectives. MORE
