If you do win, you want it to be big, because that’s how you make a real impact - says Andrew It’s a great time to be in Innovation in Australia!! Why secondary investing in the Australian venture capital ecosystem? Secondary investing is investing in already funded startups enabling founders, early investors and long term staff to cash put and get liquidity - maybe before a listing Andrew saw the importance of this at Aconex pre-IPO when there were numerous early investors and long-term staff who needed liquidity due to their personal circumstances. This also included the founders themselves who wanted to take a bit of money off the table to be able to confidently keep swinging for sixes in the next stage of their journey. Having secondary liquidity available is a sign of a maturing ecosystem, and there have been a few really big secondary transactions that Andrew has been involved with over the past five years. As a result he has set up SecondQuarter , Australia’s first venture secondaries fund. The fund had already made half a dozen secondary investments and have committed to work alongside another cohort of top-tier ventures as an ongoing provider of liquidity for their staff and early investors. It’s potentially a great asset class - A secondary Fund is a stepping stone for entrpreneurs of an innovative company to cash out a little without having to list! Posted by
