The value of a company doesn’t begin at the IPO.
By the time a company gets a ticker, years of growth, fundraising and valuation discovery may have already happened.
Yet access to that value is usually concentrated among institutions, venture funds, insiders and privileged deal networks.
Private shares also come with real constraints around eligibility, compliance, transfer restrictions, liquidity and settlement. So opening up pre-IPO exposure requires more than simply putting a private share onchain.
That’s the gap @hectoinc is trying to close by building infrastructure around the market that exists before companies become publicly traded.
Already built on @CantonNetwork, Hecto is building a tokenized pre-IPO company index designed for structured participation in private-market exposure.
The prediction side adds another important piece. A daily prediction market gives participants a place to express their expectations around defined outcomes. As people trade, those expectations become a market signal that can change with new information.
That signal can sit alongside tokenised private-market exposure, while NAV gives participants a reference for the value of what sits underneath.
Liquidity matters just as much. If demand pushes an asset above its NAV, that premium can create an incentive for additional supply to enter the system. More supply can mean more underlying exposure and better liquidity, helping the market respond to demand instead of leaving everything trapped behind scarcity.
That’s what makes the thesis bigger than simply put private shares onchain
It’s about connecting the things that have traditionally been separated, discovering opportunities, measuring demand, expressing market expectations, structuring private exposure, understanding its underlying value and creating liquidity around it.
The IPO gives a company a ticker and opens the door to the public market.
And Hecto is building around the years of value creation that happen before that door opens.
