Real Deals Interview with TempoCap Managing Partner, Olav Ostin: ‘Liquidity needs driving VC secondaries’

In a wide-ranging interview in Real Deals, Olav Ostin shared insights into the “spectacular” growth we are seeing at TempoCap in VC secondaries deal flow, with volumes surging 3- 5 times over the past two years. As one of the few European VCs specialising in direct secondaries, TempoCap is uniquely positioned to capitalise on this trend.

This strategy has led to successful exits, such as Depop (sold to Etsy for $1.62bn) and Currencycloud (sold to Visa for nearly $1bn).

The benefits of VC secondaries are clear: faster capital returns and access to high-growth companies, offering a compelling alternative for investors. These deals provide a pathway to liquidity in an otherwise challenging exit environment.

Looking ahead, Olav anticipates a “huge wave” of secondary deals in the next five years, further solidifying TempoCap’s role as a leader in this innovative market segment.
