This is a trusty platform

This is a trusty platform. They used to have very high commission fee. Right now they have eliminated this commission fee and make the transaction more traceable for the seller. The team is also pretty reachable when comes to email communication. If you have stocks and need a secondary platform. I would recommend this platform

Seamless experience from start to finish

I should preface this with the fact that I've had several experiences selling stock through Hiive and haven't had any issues.

I've also been telling all my former co-workers to check out Hiive whenever selling stock comes up. They handle everything! The whole process was seamless and managed by them. I personally didn't have to chase anyone down or wonder what was happening next.

You have a dedicated Account Manager that helps walk you through and manage the process up to the submission to the company for board approval. Following that, the Execution Team takes over and does an amazing job of navigating all the processes around actually closing out the deals. And a special shoutout to Francesca on the execution team! She was absolutely great, making sure every detail was handled and everything followed through smoothly.

If I am ever in a situation where I want to sell private shares again, I will 1000% be using Hiive.

Best platform to sell your Shares

My experience was made great by the thorough and professional follow up and guidance provided by Stephanie. The process of selling my shares was protracted, nevertheless, Hiive's guidance and reassurance eased out my nervousness

Wonderful Support

The team at Hiive always made me feel like my transaction was a priority despite it being a relatively small sale with additional challenges. I am so grateful for their support and guidance throughout the process and would not hesitate to list with them again.

What a great experience!

After 40 years of investing in public companies, I decided to try the private market as I had a lot of interest in buying into Databricks before their IPO.

This was a new experience for me, but the incredible staff at Hiive walked me through every step, even though I am surely a small customer for them.

They were so helpful and friendly, and they made the experience so easy. I would strongly recommend Hiive to anyone who wants to dive into private investing.

I recently completed two transactions on Hiive, and the experience was excellent. The platform is intuitive, secure, and makes private market investing straightforward. Communication was clear, and the process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend Hiive for anyone looking to access secondary private market opportunities.

30% Loss after Hiive decided to liquidate fund

Hiive does not have form control on fund managers. Their contracts seem to be filled with holes that allow for fraudulent activity. I had purchased shares of a company and within 4 months, Hiive decided to liquidate these shares due to shady activity from the funds manager. It was a 30% loss for me with no say in the outcome and with zero information as to why they moved forward to liquidate. Overall an awful experience and I would not recommend Hiive to anyone as they have agreements with these fund managers that allows the em to engage in this suspect activity with zero accountability and at Hiives customers loss.
