About

Hiive is the first true marketplace for private company stock, aimed at providing a transparent and efficient platform for buying and selling pre-IPO shares. The company was founded by Sim Desai, a serial founder and technology leader with extensive experience in the venture capital space. Hiive emerged from the necessity to unlock the full potential of private markets and enhance liquidity in an otherwise opaque environment. Before Hiive, Desai and the team amassed years of knowledge in the brokerage sector, which influenced the design of Hiive's operations. Upon its inception in 2021, Hiive targeted venture-backed companies and their shareholders, providing them with a seamless trading experience. The platform enables individuals to buy and sell stock of unicorns and other rapid-growth private entities. Over time, Hiive has expanded its services and secured various partnerships, aiming to create a more accessible trading environment. With a dedication to becoming the go-to liquidity platform for private stock transactions, Hiive has rapidly evolved, showcasing its commitment to growth and innovation in the financial services landscape.
