Private equity has traditionally been limited to institutions and ultra-wealthy individuals, granting them exclusive access to high-growth, late-stage companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic before they go public. Sand Hill Road Technologies Fund is shifting that dynamic by opening pre-IPO investment opportunities to accredited investors and making this once-exclusive space more accessible.

For years, control over these sought-after investments rested in the hands of legacy private equity firms and investment banks, leaving individual investors locked out of early wealth-building opportunities. Sand Hill is reimagining that model with a transparent, technology-enabled platform designed to prioritize the needs of investors.

Backed by a rapidly expanding community of accredited participants, Sand Hill isn’t just challenging the old guard—it’s redefining what private equity can look like.
