About Zanbato
Zanbato provides pricing data, valuation benchmarks, and trade execution for private company securities, positioned more toward institutional investors, funds, and larger family offices than individual retail-sized checks.
Its data products are cited alongside those of larger competitors as part of the broader private-market pricing infrastructure that has grown up around the secondaries boom.
How it works
Institutional participants use Zanbato's platform both to access pricing data on private companies and to source and execute trades in those companies' shares or fund interests.
This is meaningfully different from the individual-investor-focused marketplaces elsewhere on this list — Zanbato is worth knowing about primarily as context for how institutional buyers price and access this market, less as a place an individual angel would typically transact.
Every platform in this directory requires accredited investor status, and every listing carries the same underlying risks: limited information rights, no board access, and illiquidity that can last years. None of this is investment advice — verify current fees, minimums, and available listings directly on the platform, and treat any specific opportunity with the same diligence you'd apply to a primary investment.
