The IPO market is picking up, offering opportunities for retail investors to invest in pre-IPO companies like Circle, CoreWeave, Chime, and Figma.
Retail investors can access pre-IPO markets through online brokerages like SoFi, Robinhood, and Charles Schwab, direct share programs offered by companies like Reddit, and through secondary markets and funds like ARK Venture Fund and Fundrise Innovation Fund.
Retail investors need to be aware of the risks associated with investing in pre-IPO companies, as early valuations can be unpredictable, and share prices may fluctuate after the company goes public.
