Additional Note: Barry Silbert is the founder of SecondMarket.
Not sure what they're doing now (website is confusing) but when I interned there in 2012 they were a marketplace for all sorts alternative assets. They became somewhat well known when they made a deal with Facebook to be the exclusive pre-IPO market for Facebook equity. They made a business of helping private companies organize buying/selling of their shares. They branched out into all sorts of things including a gold fund, etc. So this seems like a natural move for Barry.
