Iconiq Capital is known for its most famous client: Mark Zuckerberg.
Iconiq founder Divesh Makan first met Zuckerberg more than a decade ago, as a young banker at Goldman Sachs. In 2010, when Makan launched Iconiq, he took Zuck and other early Facebook executives with him, creating an instant sensation in the world of wealth management and family offices.
Since then, Iconiq’s ties to Silicon Valley’s elite ranks have grown stronger and more widespread, making Iconiq one of the most influential and secretive firms in the world of tech. Insider chronicled the rise of Iconiq in a deep investigation into the firm’s clients, finances, and culture, which you can read here.
While the client roster remains one of Iconiq’s most closely guarded secrets, Insider has identified dozens of the firm’s clients through conversations with Iconiq insiders. There’s tech royalty like Apple’s App Store boss Eddy Cue, and NextDoor CEO Sarah Friar, alongside Facebook executives like Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg.
