I'd just keep your LinkedIn profile up to date with a clear indication that you might have an interesting amount of stock (co-founder, executive, early employee, etc.) and that you're no longer with the company.

When secondary brokers have more buyers than sellers of a particular private stock, they come looking for you - and that's the time when you want to do your selling, not when people are freaking out and you're competing with others actively looking to unload their holdings.



Understand how this could help you find a buyer, but if I were in this situation I'm not sure whether I'd want to put that on my LinkedIn profile.


Putting your title or the fact that you were one of the first employees at a company on your LinkedIn profile is pretty common, no?

Just to spell it out - that's the perfectly clear indication, not 'oh hi I have 125,000 shares of X to sell'.


That does make sense - I read your original comment a bit too literally.
