How do I choose between Linqto and its alternatives?

Match the desk to the decision you actually make, then check three things: the asset class it covers, whether it publishes analysis or actionable positioning, and how long it has been running. Linqto publishes analysis-style work on Pre-IPO private market investing and has been running since 2017; the desks above are ranked on the same basis, so vintage and format are directly comparable.
