Jeff Le Sage
Founder
“We founded Liquid Stock to fix a broken system. The old IPO Playbook was leaving billions on the table for the people who built these great companies that are changing the world. We can do better.”
Backstory
I spent years as a Corporate Partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher advising some of the most innovative companies in the world — and kept watching the same pattern repeat. The team that built a company would go through an IPO and walk away with a fraction of what they’d earned. The old playbook wasn’t working for employees, and it wasn’t really working for shareholders either.
We built Liquid Stock to create the New IPO Playbook. It starts with an innovative approach where we assume risks that employees shouldn’t and optimize their taxes and ending net worth. Aligning employees’ interests with the goals of companies to attract and retain the best talent and build a winning culture will help us create the New Playbook.
What Drives Me
The thing I’m most proud of is that we’re not doing this alone. Our growing partnerships with the world’s leading investors and wealth managers — Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, UBS, and Wells Fargo — are proof that the market sees the same problem we do.
What I love most about my work is the blur between work and fun. Getting to sit across the table from the smartest founders and operators on the planet, and figuring out together how to be more than just a capital partner — that’s the part I’d never trade.
