Platforms like Equity Zen to buy them on secondary markets. You have to be an accredited investor and minimum investments start at $20k. Just a heads up, if you buy pre IPO there is often a 6 month lockup.

Also I think to be considered an accredited investor you need a net worth of at least 1 million or income of at least 200k last two years

Are we peaked yet?

Fidelity will do it as well if you have enough money in your brokerage but don’t expect much. Don’t expect the hot ones either...

Yeah only the original investing firms get in on that action, trading millions of dollars (like 8+ figures) on that individual stock

Yep. You need friends at an I bank

I guess I have settle with 8-10% profit only 😅😜
