The Problem

The Market Shifted. Your Options Haven't.

Venture returns are taking longer than ever while secondary sales punish the sellers. Here's the gap most investors are stuck in.

Companies Stay Private Longer

The exit horizon has extended significantly. Unicorns now remain private for 10+ years on average.

Exit Markets Are Frozen

Exit activity is recovering but remains selective and well below historical norms. Thousands of private companies have no clear path to liquidity.

The Funding/Return Mismatch

Fund deployment cycles are 3-5 years but return periods are now 8-12 years. Investors will likely have four LP positions called before the first fund fully returns.

The Solution

Liquidity Without the Exit

Turbine offers a new path: Asset-Backed Lending. By borrowing against your positions rather than selling it, investors solve the liquidity crunch without sacrificing their asset’s potential.

  • Retain Ownership
    Keep your portfolio intact and maintain control overyour investment strategy

  • Keep the Upside
    Maintain up to 100% exposure to future appreciation—capture the full value of your patient capital.

  • Tax Efficient
    Loans are generally not taxable events, preserving QSBS eligibility and deferring capital gains. Always consult withyour tax advisor for advice.
