This article on private markets really made me think about how much the landscape of investing is shifting. The comparison between the public and private markets, and how private companies are now outpacing public ones, is pretty eye-opening. It also makes sense that the democratization of these opportunities could give individual investors access to some of the same transformative companies that were once out of reach.
What stood out most to me was the emphasis on the "illiquidity premium" — the idea that by locking up capital and exercising patience, you're potentially rewarded with superior returns. It really shifts the way we think about traditional investments and highlights the importance of discipline and long-term vision.
I think this opens up a lot of possibilities for people who are willing to take on the commitment and complexity of private market investing. It’s not for everyone, but for those with the right mindset, it could be a game changer.

Thanks for being here, and well said!
It’ll certainly be interesting to see how platforms educate investors about the risks given the complexity.
