Clarity (formerly Hiive) Avis 

I have invested with Clarity (formerly HIIVE) via their block funds as well as direct secondary share purchases. Both paths were frictionless. Excellent communication from the team throughout the process. Great experience overall relative to other secondary marketplaces for private VC exposure.

I had a great experience selling my pre IPO shares with clarity. I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process.

Helpful, friendly, easy-to-use. Glad that this service exists!

High trust and communication company that makes transactions straight forward, efficient, and with email confirmation every step of the way. Hiive has straight forward reasonable fees, and does not charge percentage of increased value. Outstanding portal to find and invest in exciting private high technology companies, well before any IPO.

We had a wonderful experience completing our transaction through Hiive. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and well-organized.

A special thank you to Sarah for her outstanding support throughout the transaction. She was responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and always willing to answer our questions and help move things forward. Her communication gave us confidence and made the entire process much easier.

We would recommend Hiive to other investors looking for a professional and reliable platform for private-market transactions.

My experience with Hiive was very positive. I was kept informed by Brett Poje who was very helpful in guiding me through the transaction process and responded quickly to all my questions.

Excellent interface and a lot of great investment opportunities. Limited fees.

Representatives from Hiive reached out to suggest matches and facilitate trades. When a buyer was slow in posting funds for a transaction, Hivve reps contacted them and facilitated completion of the deal. Very positive experience overall.

Hiive is the most reputable secondary market platform. They have a strong executive and legal team, deals that are hard to find elsewhere, a very refined website, and excellent customer service.

Have been a user on Hiive for over two years and have closed over 10 transactions on it. The platform has been phenomenal and the offerings make up a wide range . The staff (Ardi, Ivy, Harriet and lots of others) are knowledgeable , quick and really helpful and have contributed to a fantastic overall experience.

They handled everything for me! The whole process was as smooth as possible. This was definitely the way to go.

I agreed to sell shares through Hiive, and their platform marked my transaction “Submitted” and told me the ROFR process was underway. I relied on that representation for major financial decisions.

Months later, Hiive admitted that the transaction had never actually been submitted due to an administrative error. Despite acknowledging the mistake, the transaction is still not submitted and the buyer has yet to contact me. Hiive has repeatedly given new explanations and timelines while effectively leaving the process in the buyer’s hands.

Their legal team has been responsive recently, but that doesn’t undo the underlying problem: I was given an incorrect transaction status for months and have suffered significant financial risk as a result.

For a broker handling private securities transactions, this level of process failure and uncertainty is unacceptable. I would not recommend relying on Hiive for a time-sensitive transaction.

I’m a first time user of hiive platform. Arjun and Olivia give me a lot of help through my first transaction. They are quick at response.
One NiceToHave suggestion to the platform itself: Trading pre IPO option is a little bit different from traditional stock trading. The overall process is long and either party might change mind during the long process. I am wondering if there would be a rating system to indicate how often does a buyer/seller back out, so that when ppl receives multiple bids or offers they can take that into account.

I have closed on 14 transactions at Hiive and a few that didn't close because those companies were not allowing secondary transactions. I have had a seller failed to deliver because he didn't really have the shares. I have had a seller who tried to backout of a signed agreement after a positive announcement by the company moved up the price before we closed. Arjun Pawar helped me navigate that to a positive outcome. He diligently coordinated between company and transfer agent to quickly settle the trades. One was completed within a month. His communication is efficient and effective and appropriately chosen between email and phone call. I have received excellent service from Arjun. Thank you very much!

super responsive and upfront/clear with comms through the entire process. web portal is very intuitive as well. my go to for all 2ndary business. highly recommend!

I’ve had an excellent experience with Hiive across multiple transactions, both as a buyer and a seller, involving Hiive Funds as well as direct private-company shares.

The platform provides access to a strong range of private-market opportunities, and I’ve found the transaction process to be transparent, efficient and well managed.

I’ve had particularly positive experiences working with John on the Execution team, Brett and Finan on the Trading team, and Ardi on the Investor Desk. Each has been responsive, professional and pragmatic in helping transactions move forward. That said, my interactions with the Hiive team more broadly have been uniformly positive.

Having now completed multiple transactions through the platform from both sides of the market, I’ve developed a high level of confidence in Hiive and the team behind it. For anyone active in private secondary markets, I would highly recommend the platform.

I've been using Hiive for a few years now, and I can't recommend them highly enough. The process is extremely streamlined and the team sources great deals, and is always incredibly helpful. I trust them fully and am very grateful they exist.

The platform is straightforward and easy to use, everything is clear at first glance there are no complications.

I would like to thank the Hiive team for their continuous care/correspondence and following up on the deals that have been closed. Especially Paul from execution services has been very helpful and professional since day one of my experience with Hiive.

As a final review my experience was great with Hiive thus far.

Thank you

I had a really tough expensive with them with the largest IPO in our markets to this point. I got a direct call from someone at their trading desk and they couldn’t have been more apologetic and wanted to know how they get my trust back with them. That went a long ways and has been smooth sailing since. So glad I gave them another chance

I have been dealing with Hiive for sometimes now. It is a great company to deal with. I have gone through difficulties with some transactions and Mr. Arjun Pawar did his best and spent time to resolve it. So, I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in dealing with private stocks and investment in general.
