Why Private Markets?
The majority of value creation now happens before companies go public - during their private growth phase, when institutional investors, venture funds, and insiders capture the upside. In this phase, companies experience their most rapid innovation, customer adoption, and multiple expansion, yet their shares remain inaccessible to the broader investing public.
Over the past decade, structural shifts in capital markets have fundamentally changed how wealth is created. Companies are raising larger private rounds, staying private longer, and entering public markets at much higher valuations. The result: by the time most investors see these names on an exchange, the steepest part of the growth curve is already behind them.
Private markets have become the true frontier of wealth creation, offering earlier entry points, lower correlation to traditional assets, and exposure to technologies shaping the future.
Access Early-Stage Value Creation
Most exponential growth now happens before companies go public. By investing in private markets, investors capture value during the highest-growth phase, when innovation, adoption, and valuation multiples expand the fastest.
Diversification Beyond Public Markets
Private assets often move independently of public equities and bonds. They provide powerful diversification and downside protection, helping portfolios compound through market cycles while staying exposed to innovation-driven growth.
Benefit of Accreditation
Accreditation opens the door to opportunities unavailable to the general public. These markets remain closed by regulation, giving accredited investors a structural advantage: early access, higher potential returns, and exposure to deals before institutional capital floods in.

Our Process
Discovery & Screening
Our process begins with research, tracking emerging sectors, technologies, and private companies that show clear signs of durable growth. We focus on businesses at the intersection of innovation and scale, where adoption is accelerating and leadership is proven. From there, each opportunity is carefully screened for fundamentals, valuation discipline, and alignment with Odyssey’s long-term investment themes. The goal is simple: identify exceptional private companies early, and filter out everything else.
Dilligence & Verification
Once an opportunity meets our initial criteria, we conduct a deep verification process to confirm both quality and authenticity. Every placement undergoes financial, legal, and structural due diligence to ensure transparent ownership, sound governance, and proper transferability of shares. We validate all documentation and counterparties directly, maintaining institutional standards throughout. Our objective is to give investors full confidence that each opportunity has been rigorously vetted before capital is ever committed.
Placement & Access
After diligence is complete, Odyssey structures each opportunity through a secure, compliant investment vehicle. Our model provides investors with direct exposure to the underlying asset while maintaining clear legal protections and operational transparency. We source equity directly from verified holders, such as existing LPs or secondary markets, to ensure authenticity and favorable entry terms. Every placement is designed to make access seamless, custody secure, and execution institutional in quality.
Liquidity & Monitoring
Our involvement doesn’t end at allocation. Odyssey continuously monitors each placement, tracking company performance, valuation updates, and key market events that may influence performance. We maintain close contact with counterparties and secondary markets to identify potential exit windows and ensure investors remain informed throughout the investment cycle. While private markets naturally require patience, our proactive oversight helps position investors to capitalize on liquidity opportunities as they emerge with clarity and confidence.
