THE INVESTOR BEHIND HIDDEN STOCK MARKET
Andrew Keene built his reputation in public markets—options trading, structured income strategies, daily market commentary. But a meaningful portion of his portfolio sits outside public exchanges entirely. He invests in private companies years before they reach CNBC. Before ticker symbols exist. Before most investors know the names.
He's reviewed private placements in StockX. He's evaluated pre-IPO offerings in category-defining tech companies. These aren't theoretical case studies—Andrew allocates real capital into businesses trading on fundamentals, not headlines. Where public stocks react to emotion every second, private investments move on growth trajectories and strategic exits. For Andrew, this market complements his structured income work by providing long-term asymmetric upside while public markets fluctuate.
The problem wasn't access. Platforms exist now with $5,000 minimums, not $500,000. Accreditation paths opened up. What's missing is information. Most investors don't even know this market exists—or think it's reserved for venture capital insiders. Andrew saw capable people sitting on the sidelines not because they lacked capital, but because nobody explained how it actually works. So he built Hidden Stock Market to document what he's learned investing in private placements: where opportunities are, how to evaluate them, what risks look like.
"The market was never hidden. It was just unwatched."
