As soon as it becomes possible to sell, your advisor may advise you to sell in order to take profit before early investors exit and the stock price drops.
Let's take a look at what companies get on the IPO Bridge™ platform, how to access shares and how the exit happens.
Our analysts have years of experience investing in the private market. They select companies from all over the world that meet our requirements for a potentially successful technology business.
First, these companies create the products of the future. Secondly, they receive investor funding to fuel their growth. We carefully choose companies that exhibit rapid development and secure investments from major investment funds at each stage.
The third involves identifying fully-established businesses worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. We focus on companies that show clear indications of going public within the next 1-3 years, rather than early-stage startups.
You can view current investment opportunities in the Invest Now section.
If you are a IPO Bridge™ subscirber, we will always send you email and SMS alerts when new pre-IPO shares become available.
When you request shares from us via one of our email or SMS alerts, we will then check share availability and place you with one of our approved brokerages, located across the world.
Once you are placed with a broker, they will assist you in opening an account and securing shares.
You will then need to sign a share purchase agreement. After that, your advisor will walk you through funding your account and proceeding with the investment.
All questions should be then directed to the brokerage you are dealing with, however we will continue to keep you updated with new pre-IPO share allocations.
Once you own the shares, you can now sit back and keep updated with all the news surrounding the IPO, without worrying about missing out and paying more once the IPO lists.
Generally, you need to wait 1 to 3 years before your investment is closed. In a basic scenario, investment in a private company ends when this company goes public and the lockup period is over. After that you can decide when to sell your shares on the open market, we always advise listening to your advisor as fresh listings can be extremely volatile.
As soon as it becomes possible to sell, your advisor may advise you to sell in order to take profit before early investors exit and the stock price drops.
You can exit investment at any time once it’s open. In this case, your shares are sold to another investor in the private equity market.
YIf an early exit is initiated by an SPV manager, he has to get the consent of the majority of investors (their shares in the SPV must exceed 50%). Moreover, the U.S. law presupposes the “best effort” commitment: the SPV’s manager can close an investment only if it's the best available option for investors.
An early exit at your initiative is possible if you or the manager have interested parties willing to buy your share in the SPV. However, the manager is not obliged to look for a new investor or buy back the share at his own expense.
However, there’s always a chance that a company may turn out unsuccessful and go bankrupt. This is the main risk of investing in a private company. In the event of bankruptcy, investors lose all or most of their money.
This scenario can be negative or positive, depending on how the private market evaluates the stock.
Commissions may vary depending on an investment offer. The exact fees will be provided by the approved brokerage we place you with.
