Caplight announced the release of Caplight Data, a tool for tracking venture-backed private company stock prices, valuations, and trading activity.
Lack of visibility into private company stock prices prevents many investors from participating in the private secondary market. Caplight Data offers a solution by providing users with access to a large and growing dataset of over 10,000 private company transactional data points, representing over $170B of volume, as well as over 20,000 investment fund marks of private company stock prices. Pricing information is currently available for 370 late-stage private companies.

Caplight’s MarketPrice evaluated pricing algorithm is a feature of Caplight Data and provides near real-time tracking of private company stock prices. MarketPrice has demonstrated high accuracy at predicting the price points of future secondary-market trades and can be used to track a portfolio of private company stock prices over time.
In addition to providing price transparency, Caplight Data powers Caplight’s synthetic derivative transactions. Using MarketPrice as a reference point, accredited and institutional investors can use Caplight to make long and short-directional investments on private company stock or hedge their existing investment risk. Caplight was founded in 2021 and has raised $10 million from notable FinTech investors including Better Tomorrow Ventures, Fin Capital, Deutsche Börse, Susquehanna Private Equity Investments, LLLP, and Clocktower Ventures.
