About Better

The exchange for
private equity.

We believe the most transformative companies of our time shouldn't be reserved for venture capitalists and billionaires.

01 — Mission

Better is the first global exchange where anyone can buy, sell, and trade private equity — from SpaceX to Stripe to OpenAI — with real-time pricing, instant settlement, and no minimums.

Our real-time order books provide genuine price discovery for companies that may not go public for years — reflecting information faster than any traditional secondary market.

02 — Vision

A new asset class,
accessible to everyone.

If you believe SpaceX will dominate the space economy, you can invest and benefit when the company succeeds. If you're an employee holding equity and need liquidity, you can sell without waiting for an IPO.

We offer trading in technology leaders like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Databricks; infrastructure companies like Stripe and Plaid; and emerging giants like Anduril, Figma, and Discord.

04 — Values

What we believe.

Democratize access.

Private markets shouldn't be exclusive to institutions and insiders. Everyone deserves the opportunity to invest in the companies shaping the future, regardless of net worth or connections.

Radical transparency.

Real prices. Real volumes. Real market depth. No indicative pricing, no hidden spreads, no information asymmetry between retail and institutional investors.

Speed as a feature.

Traditional private transactions take weeks. We believe trading should be instant. Real-time pricing, instant execution, immediate settlement. No paperwork. No middlemen.

Build for the long term.

We're building infrastructure designed to last decades. Every decision — from security architecture to regulatory approach — is made with permanence in mind. Trust takes years to build and seconds to lose.

05 — Founder

Michael C. Jakob

"While public markets had become accessible to everyone, private markets remained closed. Better is changing that."

Michael studied at MIT and began his career at McKinsey and UBS, where he gained deep exposure to institutional finance and the mechanics of capital markets.

He went on to found two successful companies — Eulerpool and AlleAktien — building platforms that democratized access to financial data and investment research for retail investors across Europe.

Better is the realization of that vision: a true exchange for private equity, with the same transparency and accessibility as public markets.

Built differently
from day one.

Private markets have historically operated with minimal oversight. Better chose the opposite path — institutional-grade security, bank-level encryption, and a commitment to regulatory compliance from the start.

Multi-Sig Custody

Enterprise-grade asset protection with multi-signature authorization.

Bank-Grade Encryption

End-to-end data protection across every transaction and interaction.

Compliance-First

Built for regulatory standards from the foundation up.
