Linqto primarily invests in mid-to-late-stage private companies within the technology industry. Linqto does not participate in seed rounds or any type of project financing – companies must be generating revenue at a minimum with institutional venture capital or private equity investor backing. We source shares for our platform via secondary transactions with private market brokers, venture capital firms, existing and former employees, and other insiders. We also source shares by participating in primary financing rounds alongside other institutional investors, investing directly in a company through a priced equity round.
Linqto targets companies that are leaders within the sub verticals of tech: artificial intelligence, blockchain and digital assets, enterprise software, networking and IoT, hardware, and FinTech – among others. We believe these verticals represent the core pillars of the technology ecosystem and will drive the growth of the modern economy going forward.
Linqto seeks to invest in visionary management teams that have a proven track record of bringing timely products and services to market. We strive to invest alongside other reputable investors and look for companies operating within a large total addressable market with limited competition, high barriers to entry, high switching costs, and few external risk factors. Most importantly, we invest in companies with strong unit economics, high growth rates, attractive margins, multiple revenue streams, a path to profitability, and a proven competitive moat.
As the largest single segment of the private market, we believe the technology vertical will continue to outperform through a consistent pipeline of innovative new products, services, and features. Linqto will always strive for favorable investment entry points with attractive discounts relative to select peers and the broader market. Through multiple origination channels, we believe we have an investment process that can provide our customers with outsized risk-adjusted returns.
