Phil Haslett — Founder
As the founder and chief strategy officer of EquityZen, I have over 10 years of experience in creating and scaling a leading pre-IPO investment platform that connects shareholders of private companies with investors seeking access to late-stage growth opportunities. I oversee the strategic direction, partnerships, and operations of the company, which has facilitated over $2 billion in transactions across more than 450 companies. My core competencies include investments, valuation, and private equity, which I developed through my previous roles as an investment professional at Barclays Capital and Pomelo Capital, where I managed portfolios, executed trades, and analyzed market trends. I graduated from Tufts University with a BS in Quantitative Economics, and I am passionate about democratizing access to alternative assets and empowering shareholders and investors with liquidity and transparency. In addition to my role at EquityZen, I also serve as an advisor to Carry, a sports-fintech startup that is innovating in the field of sports crowdfunding And I like golf a lot.
