Sarah Cohan Williamson, CEO of FCT Global, emphasizes that private markets differ fundamentally from public ones.

Conversely, public market valuations are determined by a constantly fluctuating set of investors, with prices changing minute-to-minute based on market sentiment. This difference affects how companies value themselves and how investors assess risk and potential.
