I sold once with Equityzen and once with a different company, I forget the name. Both times were great, but it took years from start to finish. They’ll help you through the process. The fees were levels below the taxes, not bad at all. If you are interested and your company is listed on secondary sites, why not list some shares and see if anything comes through.

I'll look into those!

My main concern is around requiring board approval. There isn't any formal policy for employees seeking liquidity, and I'm not sure the board will be receptive.

I mean, what incentive would they have to allow employees to sell their shares before an IPO/exit event?

The incentive is to keep the employee, who maybe wants a big box of money to buy a house, from going to work at a FAaaNnGg for a fat signing bonus.
