Overview

Hiive, founded in Vancouver by secondary-market veterans from Setter Capital, runs a marketplace for private-company shares built around a live, transparent order book — buyers and sellers see real bids and asks rather than negotiating blind. Its price transparency and the Hiive50 index of most-traded private names have made it a fast-growing venue for VC funds, employees and institutions trading late-stage stock.
