The 30 most in-demand startup secondary shares in Q1 '26 (per Setter Capital):
- Anthropic hits #1, bumping out SpaceX as the most desired shares on the list.
- Five of the top six companies are big IPO candidates in the next 12-18 months. They've been absorbing a lot of investor interest and capital over the past few quarters, it will be interesting to see what happens as they list.
- Prediction markets are still hot! Polymarket and Kalshi are two of the fastest risers. Anything crypto that hasn't rebranded as prediction markets continues softening.
- Replit and Shield AI are the two other fastest risers on the list. Lovable and Cursor also move up a few spots.
- ElevenLabs debuts at #9, tied (with Shield AI) for the highest ever. OpenEvidence and Saronic also make what I think is their first ever appearance on the list.
- Perplexity, Crusoe, and Figure both sliding significantly. Anecdotally feels like I haven't seen them discussed as much recently.
One notable data point, the average last round valuation of companies on the list was $120B (up 122% YoY). This compares to the average S&P 500 company valuation of $122B. Insane how big the private markets have gotten.
@healthnutritipz This was the best explanation of
ADHD I have ever heard. It was refreshing to hear why I wasn’t able to self motivate in class. Now I’m earning over 6 figures in a sales role because I can find the motivation in my continuous work effort.
@tonyrigatonee@grok why are the interviewers so obsessed with knowing if the candidates will visit Israel? How does this benefit the city of New York and its residents?
@rasmatasma@AMAZlNGNATURE@grok how much carbon emissions does an average volcanic eruption emit, and how does that compare to the amount humans emit (in a time span)?
@chrisusclueless @DiscussingFilm That’s a horrible take imo. Forcing a game to follow the plot of whatever actor they choose right now boxes the game in to whatever decisions are made by Hollywood. This gives the bond series freedom to be what it really is, a bad ass charming male protagonist with a little ego.
@erriiiic @doublecupdm So a grown woman who is the wife of the Deputy Sherrif of their county’s police department shouldn’t own a firearm to protect herself? The problem isn’t the gun, it’s how warped peoples minds are. Including yours.
