EquityZen Inc., a trading platform for shares in private companies, is exploring strategic options including a possible sale, according to people familiar with the matter.
The New York-based company, which is working with a financial adviser, could fetch more than $700 million in a sale, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the matter isn’t public. A final decision on pursuing a sale hasn’t been made and EquityZen could opt to remain independent, the people said.
