Hill.com is building the operating system to power the private markets. Founded by Andrew Benson, Hill is a marketplace for retail investors to trade pre-IPO companies. Hill is backed by HF0 and advised by the former president of Charles Schwab and Fidelity. Prior to Hill, Andrew founded River.com, a Bitcoin financial services company managing $3B in assets and backed by top venture capital firms (M13, Polychain, Craft Ventures, Slow Ventures, and Peter Thiel).
Hill is on a mission to bring the private markets to every household by 2030. We are starting with the ability to trade pre-IPO companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and more. The current state of pre-IPO stock trading is that transactions often take 60 days to close. We bring this down to 60 seconds.
We are forming a small team of highly talented individuals to achieve our ambitious mission.
