Monark Markets and Sydecar Launch Strategic Partnership to Offer Embedded Access to Private Company Shares for Brokerage Platforms
NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Monark Markets, a venture-backed, New York-based startup providing Alts-as-a-Service (AaaS) infrastructure, today announced its partnership with Sydecar, a private market infrastructure platform focused on venture capital investments. The partnership leverages Sydecar's digital fund admin and ledger capabilities, combined with Monark's API stack and alternative trading system, to deliver a holistic offering that covers the entire transaction lifecycle for investing in private company shares.
Monark and Sydecar's API-based solution offers brokerages an embedded private company investment experience, allowing brokerages to build their own user interface and user experience, and giving accredited investors access to private markets from within their native brokerage app. The team at MMM Securities, Monark's wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, has established partnerships with venture funds, private company secondary brokers, and marketplaces in order to access private company shares at competitive prices. Monark will facilitate secondary trading of Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) interests on the MMM Securities Alternative Trading System, potentially enabling liquidity for investors. Additionally, syndicate leads and issuers of private company SPVs will be able to leverage Monark's Issuer Admin Panel to originate and distribute private company SPVs to their own LPs and accredited investors in the Monark brokerage network.
