What if a startup’s last funding round doesn't tell the full story about its valuation?

Private companies can go years without raising new capital. Yet their last funding valuation often remains a key reference point, even as market conditions and investor expectations change.

But what happens when investors actually trade those shares?

New academic research suggests that secondary market prices may reveal more than just the cost of liquidity. They can also provide valuable signals about future startup valuations.

This raises important questions for venture capital investors, fund managers and family offices:

Are historical funding valuations still reliable benchmarks? What do secondary market discounts really tell us? And could better price discovery change how we assess private investments?

In our latest Venionaire Capital article, we explore the research behind secondary market pricing and what it could mean for the future of private market valuations.

Owning a fraction of a building, buying it in a few clicks and selling it just as easily. Tokenization is turning one of the world's most illiquid asset classes into something far more accessible.

Hadil Krenn, CTO of 4tf Ownitnow GmbH, is building exactly that. Recorded at Vienna Blockchain Week, this episode of Let's Talk About Tech with Philipp Sakuler looks at why the timing is right.

Developers need new sources of liquidity as bank lending tightens, and investors are waiting for a fast, digital way into fractional ownership. Krenn's view is that the opportunity rests on the legal frame, not on decentralization. Investors ask for two things: that it is legal and that someone is liable.

Krenn explains why Ownitnow tokenizes the bond rather than the building, how an Austrian trustee law from 1874 represents every token holder in the land register, and why liquid secondary markets are the missing piece.

The goal is a market where your grandmother can buy into real estate without ever knowing she opened a wallet.

Private equity secondaries just hit a record USD 260 billion.

So selling a private investment should be easier than ever, right?

Not necessarily. For some investors, the secondary market works brilliantly. For others, finding a buyer can still be close to impossible, even when the asset itself is attractive.

In our latest Market Pulse article, we look at who the booming secondary market really serves, why a good valuation is not the same as a real exit, and what fresh research reveals about the hidden cost of liquidity.

The answer has less to do with capital than you might think.

New York City is bringing together institutional investors, asset managers and financial industry leaders to explore the next chapter of asset tokenization. 🗽

On October 29, our CEO Berthold Baurek-Karlic will take the stage as a speaker at the Assets on Blockchain Conference 2026, hosted by RealAssets.com at the Harvard Club in New York City.

The conference brings together institutional investors, asset managers, financial institutions, and industry leaders to explore how blockchain technology and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) are transforming traditional financial markets.

As tokenization continues to gain traction, new opportunities are emerging to rethink how assets are structured, issued, managed, and transferred. From improving transparency and operational efficiency to enabling new investment models and potentially unlocking liquidity in traditionally illiquid markets, the implications extend well beyond digital assets.

We look forward to Berthold contributing his perspective to the discussions, exchanging insights with international industry leaders and exploring how technological innovation can bridge the gap between traditional finance and emerging digital infrastructure.

Thank you to AOB Conference and RealAssets.com for the invitation and for bringing together such a forward-looking community!

Connecting technology, capital, and innovation at Peaks & Waves 2026! 🚀

Last week, our CEO Berthold Baurek-Karlic joined the Peaks & Waves Technology Summit 2026 at the Zumtobel Group Lichtforum in Dornbirn, bringing together founders, investors, technology leaders, and corporate innovators from across the region.

This year's summit focused on digital transformation through AI, exploring how emerging technologies, entrepreneurship, and collaboration can strengthen regional innovation ecosystems.

From European digital sovereignty and AI infrastructure to Robotics-as-a-Service and innovative startup showcases, the event highlighted the opportunities arising when technology, industry, and investment communities come together.

For Venionaire Capital, it was a valuable opportunity to strengthen our connections within Vorarlberg's growing technology and startup ecosystem and exchange perspectives on innovation and venture investment.

A big thank you to Alois Flatz, schwarzenberg.tech GmbH, Richard Woller, Direttissima Growth Partners, and KPMG Austria for bringing this community together, and to Zumtobel Group for hosting the summit.

Looking forward to continuing these conversations and building stronger connections across the Austrian innovation ecosystem!

Singapore during Formula 1 week is much more than racing. It brings together international capital, technology and entrepreneurship. 🇸🇬🏎️

Last week, our CEO Berthold Baurek-Karlic represented Venionaire Capital at Racing Capital 2026 and the F1 Family Office Summit, hosted by Wealth Global Partners Family Club and ULTIQUEST GROUP.

A highlight was his participation in the panel “Deep-Tech at the Strategic Frontline – Defence, AI & Robotics and the Opportunity for Family Capital.”

Alongside Madhu Jamallamudi, Kai Hoo Quek, Remi Choong, Dr. Viveka Kaldasan, Raghu (Raghunath) Koduvayur, Adel Elmessiry, Ph.D. and Matt Riemann, moderated by Douglas Peris, Berthold discussed the implications of emerging technologies for family offices and long-term investors.

Beyond the panel, the week offered valuable opportunities to connect with international investors, from the Audi F1 Experience at the National Gallery to the Mandarin Oriental and Penthouse 47.

Three key takeaways:

1) Singapore and Hong Kong have highly developed and professional family office ecosystems.

2) Asian investors show strong interest in securitisation and transferability of private-market investments, reinforcing our vision for Venionaire ONE.

3) With dozens of events taking place during Grand Prix week, preparation and a strong team are essential.The trip ended with a personal highlight for Berthold: meeting Mate Rimac at the airport before his departure, an entrepreneur whose achievements in automotive technology he has followed for years.

Many thanks to Lakhi Singh, Virendra Kumar Sahu and the entire ULTIQUEST team for bringing together such an impressive network of investors and entrepreneurs.

We look forward to strengthening the connections between European and Asian investment ecosystems!

Few people have looked at Europes economy from three sides: as a researcher, as a minister and now as a central banker.

Dr. Martin Kocher has done all three. A behavioural economist, former Federal Minister of Labour and Economy and today Governor of the Austrian National Bank, he joined host Philipp Sakuler on Lets Talk About Tech to talk about what Europe needs to win the tech race.

His answer is less about inventing and more about scaling. Europe produces the talent and the research, but young companies hit shallow capital markets and 27 different rulebooks the moment they grow. He makes the case for more venture capital, a stronger founding culture, and regulation that stays stable instead of growing every year.

Another topic is one of the most debated projects in European finance right now – the digital euro. Kocher explains what problem it is really meant to solve, why it matters for Austria in particular, and the one misconception about it he most wants to clear up.

He also answers the questions most people are quietly asking: what will actually change when you pay, and who gets to see your data?

Finally, they talk about AI and where its productivity gains will really come from, how tokenization could change cross-border payments and why a central bank has to be, in his words, the agent of the long term.

From networking to co-investing: Venionaire Capital at BAS26 in Sarajevo! 🇧🇦

Last week, our colleague Paul Stern represented Venionaire Capital at the Business Angel Summit 2026, bringing together angel investors, venture capital professionals, founders, and ecosystem leaders from across Southeast Europe and beyond.

One of the highlights was the “Hot Seats – Stop Networking. Start Co-Investing.” session, where Paul joined Aron Braun, Nicolas Berg, Günce Önür, Elsa Hyland, and Shefqet Avdullau on stage, moderated by Nina Dremelj.

The fast-paced discussion explored how investors can move beyond traditional networking to build trust, establish cross-border syndicates, and turn relationships into concrete co-investment opportunities.

As Global Community Lead of the World Venture Leaders Club, Paul also brought his perspective on connecting international investment communities and strengthening collaboration across markets.

Strong investment ecosystems are built through more than access to capital. They depend on trusted relationships, shared expertise, and the willingness to collaborate across borders to help promising companies scale.

A big thank you to Fondacija 787 (Foundation 787) and BHBAN for organizing BAS26 and bringing together such a diverse international investment community. Congratulations to everyone involved!
