While some San Franciscans are spending this winter cozying up inside a cafe or hitting the slopes in Lake Tahoe, others are staying busy building up the city’s tech scene.
Since the year started, locally grown tech companies have acquired a significant amount of capital. According to reporting from Built In SF, companies like Databricks, Kardigan and Innovaccer announced major funding rounds last month, raising more than $10.9 billion in total.
Given this swell in investor interest, the future is looking bright for San Francisco’s tech economy. And with this financial optimism comes a commitment to driving innovation across sectors — including financial services.
At Forge, teams are focused on creating a more accessible and transparent private market. The company provides liquidity solutions, data and insights, a custody offering and a marketplace, serving individual investors, employees stakeholders, institutional investors and private companies.

In the news: Last year, Forge announced the release of Forge Price, a new pricing model for pre-IPO, venture-backed late-stage companies. The new offering, which will be integrated into Forge Pro and other related data products, is designed to revolutionize how investors access and interpret private market valuations, benchmarking and indexing.
In an online statement, Forge Executive Vice President of Innovation and Investment Solutions Howe Ng described how the solution can offer a competitive edge for private market participants. “The Forge Price pricing model can unlock new product innovations, deliver new insights and broaden access to a larger set of market participants,” he said. “Forge Price does exactly that — it’s Forge’s proprietary pricing model for private companies, and we believe it’s the missing link that has the potential to further democratize the private markets.”
