Depends on ownership and how high you are in the management structure.

are you an accredited investor? No, then the government doesn't allow you to because they need to protect you from yourself making bad investment decisions

Not to receive shares but to buy shares of non public companies. There’s some exceptions for if it’s your employer but that was too complex and I mostly wanted to rant about a rule I hate

I mean if you work for that company? Does employees have option to buy their shares before they go public? In general, do employees have the option to buy shares of the companies they work for through 401K account?

typically only for public companies.
