Ballast Equity Partners.

We are a liquidity solution provider for the venture capital and growth equity investment ecosystem. Our seasoned team has an extensive history in direct venture investing and fund underwriting.

Limited Partner Fund Interests

We work with Limited Partners to help manage their cash flows and exposure to venture or growth equity funds.

This can take the form of portfolio sales or single fund interests and structures, to maintain exposures while providing some immediate liquidity — such as unfunded swaps or strip sales. Given our sophistication and passive approach to portfolio management, we are a preferred partner in secondary transactions for General Partners, which can help maintain favorable relationships.

Our direct secondary solutions cover a range of liquidity options for company shareholders.

This includes management teams, former and current employees of VC backed companies, venture funds, and family offices. We can provide complete or partial liquidity in a professional and timely manner. We can also work with management teams to structure liquidity programs and tender offers for employees.
