Grove solves shareholder illiquidity in a new way
Grove is a powerful new tool that lets you earn money from your private company shares —without selling, debt, or upfront taxes.
Use your Illiquid shares
Commit a fixed percentage of your future proceeds to join the Index and receive a proportional share of the Index.
Earn without selling
Your stake increases in value as Index companies increase in value and we remove underperformers.
Get Cash payouts
Receive a cash payout in your bank account when Index company shares are sold.
We outperform venture funds by design
By removing underperforming companies from the Index we attract stronger participants and reward those who excel.
Continous Performance Review
Companies that stagnate or fail are added to the Exit Queue—the Index is not an insurance policy.
Eliminate Underperformers
When 30% of companies enter the Exit Queue, they are removed sequentially, cutting dead weight and strengthening the Index.
Reward the Top Performers
At least 70% of your investment stays with thriving companies, and cash profits are shared only with those who actively contribute to the Index's success.
