About Us
Our drive for private market transparency began in 2011, when founder Rasmus Goksor launched Bison that later became Cobalt, the analytics platform acquired by Hamilton Lane and FactSet. Today, with retail capital pouring into alternatives, that mission matters more than ever—so we built Sekond to deliver the clarity investors now demand.
Our Values
Alternatives Focus
We live and breathe alternatives—designing every data model, rating and workflow for the nuances of illiquid assets.
Transparency & Integrity
All figures are sourced, traceable and triple-verified, so investors can trust every signal without second-guessing the source.
Empowerment
Clarity unlocks confidence. We turn opaque information into plain-language insight that helps advisors and allocators act decisively.
Technology First
From our Alternatives Genome to liquidity-risk scores, modern engineering and AI powers what we deliver—and everything we’ll build next.
Private-Market DNA, Data-Engineering at Our Core
