SharesPost for Sellers
What can SharesPost do for me?
SharesPost helps you sell your private company shares by connecting you with thousands of interested buyers. It’s simple: SharesPost members anonymously post their shares for sale on our bulletin boards for free. Buyers are alerted and come to compete for your shares. The SharesPost system provides you with the information, tools, forms and process to quickly and painlessly sell your shares. Plus, by removing the need for brokers and lawyers, we can reduce your transaction costs by 80% or more.
How do I get started?
You have two ways to sell your shares:Self-service option: Review any buyers’ posts. If one is acceptable, just click “Agree to Sell” and follow the step-by-step instructions that end with the opening of escrow. If you want to learn more about a buyer beforehand, just click “Email Buyer” to begin a direct dialogue. You can also click “Post to Sell” and name your own terms. All posts are anonymous. Once your post goes live on the bulletin board, SharesPost notifies all known potential buyers of the company’s stock.
ORBroker option: We have teamed up with brokers specializing in late-stage, venture-backed private companies and made them available to the SharesPost community. These brokers are experts in finding buyers and managing the resulting transaction. To connect with a broker, click “Post to Sell” on the company’s bulletin board page and then select the broker option.
