Privately held technology companies are attracting a great deal of interest and rightfully so. In this interview, David Garrity, a frequent CNBC Technology Pundit and a Principal at GVA Research and a Managing Partner at Whitemarsh Capital, talks with Jason Behrens, the ACE Portal General Counsel, about private vs. public market trends in the tech space.
Garrity covers market adaptations to the longer life cycle of private companies in the tech space. Specifically he addresses valuation concerns in the technology sector, emerging trends in fintech (financial technology), investment strategies in the private and public sector, the idea of strategic acquisitions, and how individual investors can participate in the early-stage returns of the tech space despite the longer private life-cycle of these companies.
