In this episode of the Capitalmind Podcast, we take a deep dive into the world of unlisted and private securities. We'll cover key topics such as:

• What exactly are unlisted and private securities?
• How do you value them, and what complexities should you watch for, like liquidation preferences and ratchets?
• Who can you sell these securities to, and what about corporate governance risks? Are these investments or just consumption in disguise?
• We also explore opportunities in the SME segment and how much of your net worth you should allocate to private investments.
• Whether you're considering investing in a friend's business or a pre-IPO startup like Swiggy, this episode will help you navigate the complex world of private markets.
