Hey there! I'm Atish Davda. At 12 years old, I moved from India to America and have been lucky to pursue my passion for learning, building, and sharing the same luck and opportunities with others. I studied Computer Engineering, Economics, and Mathematics at The Wharton School and University of Pennsylvania. My experience spans over 15 years in fintech and asset management, where I've worked as an engineer, quant, and investor, always with an eye for applying technology in innovative ways and in novel markets to bring access to more people. Today, I’m the co-founder and CEO of EquityZen, a leading private company marketplace. Over the last decade, I've steered EquityZen with a vision to bring private markets to the public. From designing the organization and managing our leadership team to guiding product development, my role is to ensure our platform brings the opportunities available to institutions to individual investors. An audience we fondly refer to as “team little check.” Our mission at EquityZen has been clear from the start: ways of creating wealth shouldn’t be limited to the already wealthy, so break down the barriers that restrict access to wealth-creating investment opportunities. We've built a strong reputation with regulators and private companies, leading the charge in making the private secondary market accessible to a broader audience. Our technology-driven platform has facilitated over 45,000 private placements, showcasing our commitment to scale and accessibility. As a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer and a voice on Forbes, CNBC, and Bloomberg, I've dedicated my career to not just navigating, but shaping the future of asset management and fintech. Our work at EquityZen goes beyond transactions; it's about leveling the playing field, enabling individuals to understand the opportunity, invest in the growth of private companies, and share in the wealth traditionally reserved for the few. We've witnessed the transformative power of democratized access by changing our clients’ lives: from helping them pay for their family homes to funding their children’s college. Our platforms a testament to what becomes possible when financial markets are open to more than just the wealthiest investors. If my journey resonates with you, let’s connect!
