# LTSE Private Markets for Late-Stage Companies

Raise Capital. Protect Your Mission. Build for the Long Term.

## Build a legacy of long-term value with investors who share your vision.

LTSE Private Markets connects late-stage private companies with long-term investors who share their vision for sustainable growth.

## LTSE Private Markets FAQs for Late-Stage Companies

##### What size companies do you typically work with?
We focus on late-stage mission-driven growth companies, typically Series C+ (though this isn't a hard requirement).

##### Can you help with smaller liquidity needs?
While we typically focus on transactions of $10M+, we can often help design tender offer programs or other structures for smaller liquidity needs.

##### Do we need to be considering an LTSE listing to work with you?
No. While we believe LTSE's principles benefit many companies, there's no requirement or expectation to list on LTSE.

##### How do you source your investor network?
We've cultivated relationships with institutional investors who specifically seek access to high-quality private companies in mission-driven companies. These relationships come from the broader LTSE ecosystem.

##### What's your typical engagement timeline?
Secondary transactions typically close in 60-90 days. Primary raises take 90-180 days. Advisory engagements are usually 6-12 months with the option to extend. We're flexible based on your needs and timeline.

##### How is your fee structure different from traditional investment banks?
We operate as a principal, not a broker-dealer, which gives us more flexibility in fee structures. We're happy to discuss specific fee structures based on scope.

##### What if we're not ready for your services today?
We're happy to stay in touch and be a resource as you grow. Many of our best relationships began with early conversations that led to engagements 12-24 months later.

##### What type of opportunities are available?
Investors can participate in both **secondary transactions** via an SPV structure and/or **primary raises**. The platform focuses on late-stage, high-quality private companies often on a trajectory toward an IPO or other liquidity events.

##### What differentiates LTSE’s access?
LTSE’s relationships with private companies stem from our Silicon Valley roots and governance advisory work. This direct corporate engagement provides early visibility into capital needs and strategic intentions.

##### What kind of investors participate?
We work with mission-driven investors ranging from endowments, foundations, family offices, and select fund managers.

##### What fees apply?
Fees vary by transaction type but are typically deal-based rather than fund-based, ensuring alignment and transparency. Advisory or structuring fees may apply in certain cases.

##### How do investors stay informed post-transaction?
We provide periodic updates, company performance insights, and governance developments for ongoing transparency.

##### What size of investment or commitment are expected?
Opportunities range widely from sub-$1 million secondary allocations to larger structured transactions in the $5 million to $20 million range.

##### What is the LTSE Private Markets Investor Network?
A curated network for mission-driven investors to learn and share ideas. The network is not a pooled fund. Investors choose which opportunities to participate in, allowing for flexibility, transparency and control.
