Pre-IPO Shares

Get in before the opening bell ever rings

Invest in private companies while they're still pre-IPO, at the price set for that funding round — then hold through the transition to public trading without lifting a finger.

How it works

Four stages, and you're covered at every one

Each company you can invest in moves through a clear lifecycle: upcoming, open for investment, closed to new investors, IPO in progress, and finally public — and your holding follows it automatically.

  • Buy shares while a company is open for pre-IPO investment.
  • Repeat purchases blend into one weighted-average position.
  • When the company goes public, your holding converts to the live-traded stock automatically.
  • From that point, sell any portion at the live market price whenever you choose.

FAQ

Pre-IPO questions

Can I sell before the company goes public?

Pre-IPO holdings are generally illiquid until the company completes its public listing and your holding converts.

What if I buy shares more than once in the same round?

Repeat purchases blend into a single weighted-average position rather than being tracked as separate lots.

What determines the conversion price?

Your holding converts at the live-traded asset's price at the moment the company is marked public.
