“While we know the real journey and work is still ahead, Go1 has grown to unicorn status and has started to create substantial wealth along the way for our staff and early backers. As a founder, I want to help them unlock some of this value. Being a trusted VC and specialist in this space made SecondQuarter the logical partner to connect our people with. During the first transaction, the team helped us with some of the legal and pricing complexities, which made it very efficient for Go1.”
Andrew Barnes
Co-Founder, Go1
“Providing genuine liquidity to current and future employees has been a very real differentiator in both motivating our best talent and winning new talent. SecondQuarter not only provides that differentiation, but has also been incredibly helpful in setting up the mechanisms to allow that. As humans, the team at SecondQuarter have been brilliant and easy to work with, and I’ve been actively recommending them to my founder circle.”
