Summary
The author is a former employee of a private AR/VR AI company and is seeking ways to sell their 300,000 shares on the secondary market as they approach retirement.
The author notes that the company previously considered a SPAC deal at a $650 million valuation, but this fell through when the SPAC market collapsed. They are now struggling to find a secondary market platform willing to list their shares.
Quality assessment: This is a personal anecdote and a request for advice, not investment due diligence (DD). It contains unverified, anecdotal information about a private company and is therefore considered noise from an investment analysis perspective.

Ok, I have tried but had no luck in selling my privately owned shares of my past company I worked for 25 years ago. I have gone through all the typical secondary market companies and if your not SpaceX or OpenAI shares they don’t want to even list them.
Does anyone have any idea on how I could go about selling a portion of my shares. I own 300,000 shares and a few years ago they were looking to do a SPAC deal at 650 million valuation then the SPAC market fell apart and they felt they would be better just strengthening there position. They are a AR/VR AI company but I would like to sell some of the shares since I am getting close to retirement so, figured why not. Anyone have suggestions on what I can do?
