Investing in the private markets is inherently illiquid. Unlike investing in the stock market, there are no easily accessible “markets” where investors can access liquidity. So how do angel investors see cash distributions from their investments? Three common liquidity possibilities for angel investors are: -Initial Public Offering (IPO) -Acquisition -Secondary Sales None of these are guaranteed and investing in the private markets is a long-term game, but in the case of an exit event, angel investors could realize very lucrative returns.
