Stop waiting for an IPO

Hissa Fund - a SEBI-registered AIF - buys your vested shares at board-approved fair value, with cash in your account in 5 business days. No IPO required. No company buyback required.

Two questions every ESOP holder asks.
Hissa answers both.

01

What is my equity worth today?

Your Hissa portal shows a live FMV - updated at every board-approved valuation by a SEBI-registered valuer. Not an estimate. The exact rupee value of every grant you hold.

02

Can I sell my shares without waiting for an IPO?

Yes - if your company is on Hissa. The Hissa SEBI AIF Cat-II fund buys vested shares at board-approved fair value. T+5 cash in your account. No company buyback, no exit event needed.

Three products. Complete control

Questions employees ask us.

Pitch Hissa to your founder or HR head using the free pitch kit on this page. Founders respond positively because it costs the company nothing - the Hissa Fund provides the capital, not the company. Most companies that explore it sign up within 2–4 weeks. Use the "Open my pitch kit" button above for a short overview you can share.
No. Selling your vested ESOPs to the Hissa Fund has no impact whatsoever on your employment status or your relationship with your employer. You remain an employee with the same role, salary, and unvested options as before.
Yes. Partial sales are typically permitted, which lets you access liquidity while retaining upside on the rest. The exact proportion is decided in alignment with your company, and Hissa works closely with both parties to structure this fairly.
Hissa Fund is a SEBI-registered Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) Category II with a $35 million corpus. It invests in pre-IPO Indian startup equity by acquiring vested employee shares, providing liquidity to employees of Series B+ growth-stage startups without requiring a company exit event or buyback programme.
Once your company is set up on Hissa and transaction documents are signed, cash is settled within T+5 business days. Platform setup typically takes 2–5 business days from the founder signing up - Hissa's team handles the migration of cap table data.
Selling ESOPs in India triggers two tax events: a perquisite tax on the spread between your strike price and FMV at exercise (added to salary income), and capital gains tax on appreciation between exercise FMV and the sale price. The Hissa portal models both before you decide to act. Consult a tax advisor for your specific situation.

Your equity is real.
