Hiive

Giving that startups are staying private longer, giving early employees, angel investors, or even founders who have moved on a way to get liquidity for their early bets is what the growing secondary market enables, and the Hiive50 is a useful index that tracks where the hottest action is. Now anyone* who wants to get into the action has a resource showing which companies have the most interest, pre-IPO.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Nathan and I work at Hiive. Companies increasingly take longer to IPO, meaning it can often take more than 10 years for early startup employees to generate income from their hard-earned equity. Hiive is a marketplace connecting buyers and sellers of pre-IPO company stock, helping you unlock the value of your shares, on your terms. For venture investors, Hiive offers access to over 1,000 high-growth companies before they go public. You can view listings for most of the world’s fastest growing startups and bid in real-time on shares in companies normally accessible only by the world’s premiere VCs. And today we're launching the Hiive50: The Hiive50 is an index of the fifty most actively traded stocks on our platform, acting as a powerful indicator of the direction and momentum of the pre-IPO market. It brings transparency and insights, and may help you make decisions on whether to buy, sell, or hold on to your startup equity. Key features of Hiive50 include: 📈 Updated Daily: Daily index values are recalculated hourly and reconstituted quarterly, giving you an up-to-date view of market trends and movements. 🔍 Based on Real User Activity: The index is based on real closed transactions, ensuring a reliable measure of actual pre-IPO market activity on Hiive. 🏢 Company by Company Analysis: Each company within the Hiive50 can be viewed in detail to see that company’s stock price trend over time. Best of all, you can check the site to gauge the value of your equity in just a few clicks! We’re excited to empower you with the data and tools to navigate the startup market effectively. We’re eager to hear your thoughts and feedback. Cheers, Nathan

Congrats on the launch!! Selly told me about it haha. I checked out the site and saw that Groq is on it! Will this also allow me to buy/sell Groq?

Great idea! Having a platform with all up-to-date view of market trends and movements will be very useful!

Game changer for liquidity! The more visibility we have in private markets, the better.

As someone who has startup equity in 4 startups with no liquidity for over 7 years, I really appreciate what Hiive is doing. It is startup employee friendly, which is ultimately startup friendly. I also love the platform is free to sign up, and the charts and data are beautiful. This new launch oh Hiive 50 is a cool way to "aggregate" what I already track stock by stock. Would love to see sector (fintech, biotech etc) and region breakdown (asia, apac, euro etc) in the future when there is more density of data on the platform. Kudos on the launch! 🚀 🚀 🚀

With the private markets traditionally being so murky, this is a game changer in providing much needed transparency. And a super useful tool just for discovery and helping investors choose target companies. Well done!
