Built on Eqvista’s Real-Time Company Valuation® engine, Eqvista 500 is more than a private-market benchmark. It continuously tracks leading private companies and generates live valuation signals using market data, benchmark-driven models, and AI-powered pricing infrastructure. The platform is built on more than 8,000 executed valuations and over $1 trillion in valuation calculations, providing the scale needed to price private companies in real time.
Private markets need a benchmark
Public markets have always had reference points. Investors can look at broad indices to understand where markets are moving, how sectors compare, and how companies perform against a wider pricing backdrop.
Private markets have grown into the trillions, but pricing is still fragmented, episodic, and often disconnected from real-time market context. Valuations are typically updated at intervals, while secondary activity often happens without a consistent benchmark layer.
Eqvista 500 changes that.
It introduces a living pricing reference across leading private companies, giving founders, boards, and investors a clearer view of how valuations are shifting across the market.
What is Eqvista 500?
Eqvista 500 is more than a benchmark index.
It is a real-time private-market pricing and tracking layer built to monitor 1,540 unicorns and continuously calculate valuation signals across the market. Powered by Eqvista’s Real-Time Company Valuation® engine, Eqvista 500 combines live market data, benchmark-driven modeling, and AI-powered valuation infrastructure to produce continuously updated pricing references at scale.
At its core, Eqvista 500 is built on three ideas
- tracking a broad universe of private-market leaders, including 1,540 unicorns
- continuously valuing those companies using market data and benchmark models
- creating a shared pricing reference that can be used for comparison, monitoring, and transaction support
Eqvista 500 is designed to provide
- a continuously updated pricing reference across leading private companies
- ongoing valuation coverage across 1,540 unicorns in the market
- clearer performance context across sectors, stages, and market conditions
- a more consistent baseline for secondary transactions and liquidity programs
- a foundation for future products tied to transparent private-market pricing signals
Why Eqvista 500 matters
- It tracks the private market at scale: Eqvista 500 is not limited to a narrow index concept. It is designed to track 1,540 unicorns and produce market-wide pricing visibility across a large portion of the private-company ecosystem.
- It is built on valuation depth, not surface-level signals: Eqvista 500 uses market data, benchmark models, and AI-powered processing to continuously build valuation views across private companies instead of relying on infrequent, point-in-time updates.
- It is built for precision: Eqvista’s core differentiator is precision. The platform is built to process extremely large volumes of private-company valuations in real time while maintaining disciplined valuation logic and benchmark consistency.
- It strengthens secondary-market infrastructure: Price discovery is a prerequisite for healthier secondary activity. More consistent pricing signals can help reduce arbitrary discounting and improve confidence in transactions.
- It creates infrastructure, not just a dashboard: Eqvista 500 is part of a broader pricing infrastructure layer for private markets, designed to support benchmarking, valuation monitoring, liquidity programs, and future transaction products.
How it works
Eqvista 500 is powered by Eqvista’s Real-Time Company Valuation® engine, which continuously calculates fair market value signals as underlying company and market inputs evolve.
The system is designed to track 1,540 unicorns, benchmark them against market data, and generate valuation coverage at scale using AI-powered infrastructure.
Eqvista’s positioning is not just speed, it focuses on producing consistent valuation outputs at scale
Built on
- real-time market data inputs
- benchmark-driven valuation modeling
- a valuation framework tested across more than $7 trillion in private-market value
- a benchmarking layer informed by more than $300 billion in modeled value
- AI-powered systems capable of processing large-scale private-company valuations in real time
This makes Eqvista 500 a dynamic pricing and valuation layer rather than a static report or simple watchlist.
Built for the next generation of private-market transactions
Eqvista 500 is designed to work alongside controlled liquidity solutions, including:
- tender offers
- internal matching programs
- structured secondary activity
- shareholder liquidity programs
Efficient private-market transactions require better pricing foundations. By introducing a shared benchmark layer, Eqvista 500 supports more transparent and scalable transaction activity.
Who it is for
- Founders and executive teams: Track how valuation benchmarks evolve and prepare for pricing conversations with better context.
- Boards and finance teams: Use a continuously updated benchmark layer to support internal pricing discussions, liquidity planning, and stakeholder reporting.
- Investors: Compare pricing signals across private companies, sectors, and market conditions with more consistency.
- Shareholders and employees: Gain clearer reference points around company value and secondary-market pricing.
Why Eqvista
Eqvista provides equity management and valuation services for private companies globally. Serving thousands of companies, Eqvista helps founders, finance teams, and investors manage cap tables, compliance workflows, and valuation systems with greater confidence.
Eqvista’s Real-Time Company Valuation® engine powers continuous, market-informed pricing infrastructure for private markets and constantly calculates over $10 trillion in private company asset value.
Eqvista 500 extends that infrastructure into a benchmark layer for private markets.
Public markets have long relied on indices to create shared context for pricing, performance, and capital allocation. Private markets have grown into multi-trillion-dollar territory, yet they still lack an always-on benchmark. Eqvista 500 is our step toward closing that gap by making private-market pricing measurable, comparable, and continuously updated.
