FAQ

Common Questions

The Boring Desk is an LP-led secondary investment bank and marketplace for private market fund interests. We help LPs sell fund positions to qualified institutional buyers with transparent pricing, AI-driven matching, and streamlined execution.

Our platform uses AI to match your mandate or listing with verified counterparties. You get access to a broad network of LPs, GPs, and institutional investors actively transacting in secondaries.

We focus on LP-led secondaries: selling your limited-partner interest in private equity, venture capital, real estate, and infrastructure funds. We can also support GP-led situations where relevant. Listings are vetted and include key fund and pricing information.

We operate on a success-based model. There are no upfront retainers or hidden fees, and we only win when your transaction closes. Once a deal is underway, we disclose our fee structure clearly to you and your advisor, so there are no surprises.

The Boring Desk process is designed to close in about 45 days from intake to wire, versus the ~3 months a traditional secondary typically takes. Our platform automates matching, diligence, and documentation to speed up every step.

Create an account as a seller or buyer in a few minutes. From there, our team helps you upload the relevant fund documents, verify your status, and prepare your listing or mandate. No upfront commitment required.
