Facebook and Zynga's post-IPO performances may have scared many companies off public markets for the time being, but liquidity is still available to certain smaller, private companies. SecondMarket took a look at the privately-held companies that continue to offer shares on the marketplace and found that they have an average valuation of $329 million and about 200 employees. SecondMarket's full report is here.Even with headwinds from the public markets, transactions on SecondMarket's platform in the first half of this year are still up 27 percent year-over-year at $341 million.Gaming companies led the way with 48.3 percent of liquidity events on the platform. (Really, that doesn't seem that surprising considering how Zynga has slid from a privately-held valuation of more than $14 billion before its initial public offering to a current $2.2 billion market cap.) Privately-held gaming companies are likely to feel a great deal of downward pressure on their valuations throughout the next several months.Following gaming companies were consumer web and social media companies, then education and financial services.
