  • Extracted Insight: Hiive Co., a Vancouver‑based online platform for trading shares in pre‑public companies, is exploring a secondary share sale that would value the firm at approximately $780 million. The move follows a primary capital raise late last year that set a $650 million pre‑money valuation, and aims to capitalize on heightened investor interest ahead of large IPOs by SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic, each targeting post‑IPO valuations of hundreds of billions to over $1 trillion. Founder and CEO Sim Desai noted record sign‑ups, transaction and trading volume, and an atypical first‑quarter performance without the usual seasonal dip.
