SAN FRANCISCO, March 25, 2025–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (“Forge,” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FRGE), a leading global private securities marketplace, today announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with Yahoo Finance to provide up-to-date pricing information on many of the top unicorn companies in the world. Through this collaboration, investors will now have access to real-time pricing and valuation data for late-stage U.S. private companies before they go public through Yahoo Finance. The initiative also introduces the industry’s first large-scale public-to-private company comparison tool leveraging Forge’s proprietary pricing data to educate investors on private market investment opportunities.
“The democratization of the private market is no longer a distant goal, it’s happening right now,” says Kelly Rodriques, CEO of Forge Global. “Thanks to greater pricing transparency and financial innovation, we’re empowering a broader range of investors to access private market opportunities, opening doors to more diverse investment strategies and providing new pathways for investors from retail to institutional to engage with some of the world’s most promising companies.”
New products coming to market will offer new ways for retail investors to access low-cost, diversified exposure to private market shares at lower minimums. This could include registered funds designed to track custom Forge indices, such as Accuidity’s Megacorn Fund, which has filed an application with the SEC to register as an interval fund.
Forge is taking another significant step in helping more investors access the growing private market, providing them with the tools and insights necessary to stay ahead of the curve and capitalize on emerging trends. While accessing accurate private market data has been a challenge in the past, investors now have unparalleled access to private market data through Forge Price, which offers real-time pricing information on venture-backed, pre-IPO companies.
Forge’s partnership with Yahoo Finance offers investors deeper access to private company performance, as well as to private market indices and benchmarks. The Yahoo Finance private market hub integrates both public and private company data all in one place, enabling investors to seamlessly track and compare performance of private companies that they can then buy and sell through the Forge platform.
In partnering with Yahoo Finance, Forge can better reach and educate a wider audience on the investment opportunities and potential benefits of private markets, while investors on Yahoo Finance will now have easier access to historically hard-to-find private company information within an interface with which they are already familiar.
The new offering featuring Forge data will be available to all Yahoo Finance visitors (www.yahoofinance.com), in the Yahoo Finance mobile app for Apple and Android, and will be rolling out to more world editions of Yahoo Finance tailored for investors in countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia and South Pacific in the future.
