You can use Forge Global to trade shares of private, pre-IPO tech companies before they go public. The service allows accredited investors to discover investment opportunities, review historical valuations, and submit bids on private stock. Shareholders and company employees can list their vested equity, discover prospective buyer demand, and sell their holdings for liquidity. You can also monitor indicative pricing trends through market signals, track prospective IPO timelines, and evaluate secondary transactions across high-growth venture-backed businesses directly through a regulated marketplace.
