What are private markets?

Private markets are investments made in assets of privately owned companies that are NOT traded on a stock exchange. These assets include private equity, debt, funds, real estate, infrastructure, and others.

Think pre-IPO companies, growth-stage companies, and unicorns that are offering these investment opportunities.

Sounds interesting? Exciting even?

That is hardly surprising. Which is why there has been a dramatic capital shift from the public to private markets over the past 20 years.

Moreover, since 2000, private market assets have grown 10x, representing $6 trillion globally*.

Seeing this is an unprecedented growth opportunity for investors, it is only natural that you, too, would like to get in on the action.

The problem is the private markets were previously not accessible to the average individual due to regulations and the risks associated with them. 

KLDX changes all this. By leveraging blockchain and smart contract technology, we create a level playing field for investors.

Through KLDX, practically anyone can now become an investor in the private markets and invest directly in vetted pre-IPO companies, growth-stage companies, unicorns, and more.
