Vex Private Markets Summit
The future of private market structure
Presented by Vex Holdings
The Problem
Zero price discovery on the decisions that matter.
LPs are trapped in 12-year funds with no exit. Founders hold illiquid paper while boards make billion-dollar decisions based on gut feel and politics. The secondary market is back-channel deals and 20% discounts.
The structures haven’t changed in 40 years. The scale has changed by 100x.
It’s time to fix it.
The Summit
Five Conversations That Matter
Secondary Liquidity
The $100B problem—why LPs are trapped and what's being built to free them
Tokenization
Beyond the hype—what new rails actually enable for private markets
Governance Markets
Pricing outcomes, not just equity—conditional securities that reveal what the market thinks
Trading Without Going Public
Liquidity without 10-Ks and quarterly earnings calls
Startup Fundraising
New structures for raising and deploying capital
