Forge Global

Forge Global is the private-market platform in Inside the Private Stock Market Boom: SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI & the Rise of Secondaries, represented by CEO Kelly Rodriques. The episode frames Forge as part of the infrastructure that could make private-company secondaries more standardized, company-permissioned, and productized.

The source presents the Charles Schwab relationship as a signal that private shares are becoming an investable asset class rather than only a brokered shadow market. Forge’s role is not simply matching buyers and sellers; it is building the rails for Regulated SPV Private-Market Access, company-approved programs, and eventually lower-minimum products for broader investors.
