Aption is the world's first Equity Pooling platform that allows founders, executives and employees to use their startup equity to access other great businesses and diversify their risk. We have millions of dollars of assets under management. Founders, executives and early employees live with large, concentrated positions in illiquid, speculative businesses. They are not professional investors and have only a ~10% chance of making money from their holding.

Aption solves this problem with Equity Pooling. Equity Pooling allows shareholders to easily shift parts of their highly-concentrated, illiquid holdings into portfolios of diversified, similarly-promising positions. Our many users enjoy a more balanced personal portfolio, less downside risk, and a greater chance of sooner, more frequent liquidity events. We unlock their holdings as a “currency” for acquiring interests in similarly-attractive companies, in a cashless, tax-advantaged transaction. Long-term, we seek to create a unified, liquid, long/short market for every private asset in the world, which will support a variety of additional offerings.
