STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
Building institutional-grade access to private markets through long-term alignment with market leaders.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
PARTNERSHIPS AS INFRASTRUCTURE
At KittyHawk, we view partnerships not as distribution channels or transactional arrangements, but as foundational infrastructure.
The most durable investment platforms are built alongside institutions that define market standards, organizations with deep operating history, regulatory discipline, and global reach. Our strategic partnerships are designed to enhance access, improve transparency, and enable products that could not exist independently.
We partner selectively, with a long-term orientation and a shared commitment to shaping the future of private markets.
WHY PARTNERSHIPS MATTER IN PRIVATE MARKETS
PRIVATE MARKETS REQUIRE INSTITUTIONAL ALIGNMENT
As private companies remain private longer, the mechanisms for accessing late-stage value have become increasingly complex. Fragmentation, inconsistent liquidity, and opaque processes create challenges for both investors and companies
Strategic partnerships allow us to:
Operate within trusted market infrastructure
Align with established governance and compliance standards
Improve efficiency, transparency, and scalability
Deliver solutions designed for institutional participation
FEATURED STRATEGIC PARTNERS
Nasdaq is a global leader in market infrastructure, technology, and index innovation. As the pioneer of the world’s first electronic stock market, Nasdaq has played a central role in shaping modern capital markets for over five decades.
KittyHawk partners with Nasdaq to leverage its deep expertise in index construction, governance, and market data. Through this partnership, Nasdaq serves as an index calculation agent, bringing institutional rigor and credibility to the development of structured private market strategies.
This collaboration reflects a shared belief that private markets are entering a new phase, one that requires the same discipline, transparency, and infrastructure long present in public markets.
Nasdaq Private Market is the leading institutional platform for secondary liquidity in late-stage private companies. Built to support company-approved transactions, Nasdaq Private Market provides a centralized, compliant environment for private share transfers.
Through our partnership, KittyHawk gains differentiated access to private market liquidity and insights, enabling participation in structured secondary transactions at scale. This relationship supports our ability to deploy capital efficiently while aligning with company needs and long-term market integrity.
Together, we are working to modernize how liquidity is provided in private markets, bridging the gap between private growth and public readiness.
A PLATFORM APPROACH
DESIGNED FOR THE LONG TERM
KittyHawk’s strategic partnerships are built with longevity in mind. We collaborate closely with our partners at both the executive and operational levels, aligning incentives and sharing a common vision for the evolution of private markets.
As our platform grows, we expect these partnerships to deepen, supporting new strategies, new structures, and new ways for investors to participate in the value creation occurring before companies reach the public markets.
LOOKING AHEAD
SHAPING THE FUTURE OF PRIVATE MARKETS
The boundary between public and private markets is shifting. KittyHawk believes the next generation of investment products will be defined by thoughtful integration between the two.
​
Our strategic partnerships represent an important step in that direction, combining entrepreneurial flexibility with institutional strength to help build a more accessible, transparent, and efficient private market ecosystem.
