Stripe, Revolut and Kraken have each reached a stage where the venture model no longer fits — multi-jurisdictional, near-profitable, with shareholder registers complex enough that a public listing is the only credible exit. For Australian wholesale investors this cohort is now accessed predominantly through structured secondary transactions.
Primary capital at this stage is absorbed by strategic investors, sovereign wealth funds and crossover funds. Outside capital enters through secondary parcels sourced from existing shareholders. Taurus Management participates in this market on a best-efforts basis for Stripe, Revolut and Kraken.
Share class, transfer restrictions, right-of-first-refusal mechanics and information rights are negotiated at the transaction level. Wholesale buyers receive an information memorandum and clear share-class disclosure before committing capital.
Treat the cohort as a single allocation sleeve. Set a maximum aggregate exposure and let availability dictate the mix. Listings are an outcome, not a timing trade.
