A capital markets view with Nasdaq
summary
Nasdaq explains that it bought SecondMarket and now runs the NASDAQ Private Market to let startups run liquidity programs for employees, handle cap table and waterfall analysis, and support firms staying private eight to nine years instead of four. Notes the Jobs Act raised the shareholder cap to 2,000 and eased Sarbanes‑Oxley timing. New equity crowdfunding rules begin next month. Recent public deals include SecureWorks, Red Rock Resorts ($530M) and Chinese fintech ych, and Nasdaq says IPO momentum is cautiously returning.
