Pre-IPO Offerings
Each offering is an SPV interest providing exposure to a single private company. Investors do not hold shares directly and have no rights in that company. Interests are illiquid, subject to transfer restrictions, and involve fees that reduce returns. Available to accredited investors only.
Pre-IPO investments are speculative and may result in loss of the entire amount invested. There is no guarantee that any company will complete an IPO, be acquired, or provide liquidity on any timeline.

-
Not until an IPO, acquisition, or another liquidity event, so plan on a multi-year hold. There’s no secondary market at launch, so you can’t sell out early. If the company IPOs, expect a lockup of roughly six months after that. Once the lockup lifts, shares are distributed in kind into your Altruist account, and from there they trade like any other public stock.
-
Total capital loss: Private secondary shares can become worthless if the company fails or goes bankrupt.
Severe illiquidity: You cannot easily sell your SPV interest on a public exchange if you need emergency cash.
Right of First Refusal (ROFR): The target private company can take weeks to approve or block the secondary transfer of shares.
Hidden dilution & terms: Underlying shares may carry liquidation preferences or strict lockup restrictions lasting 90 to 180+ days post-IPO

PRE-IPO
RISK DISCLOSURE & DISCLAIMER
High Risk of Loss: Pre-IPO investing involves an extreme degree of risk. There can be no assurance that the company will ever successfully complete an Initial Public Offering (IPO) or that a public market for its shares will ever develop. Investors must be prepared to bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period and be able to afford a total loss of their principal investment.
Illiquidity and Resale Restrictions: These securities are "restricted securities" under federal securities laws and cannot be easily liquidated or resold. Resale may be restricted by law for at least one year and may require the explicit consent of the issuing company. Furthermore, if the company does proceed with an IPO, shares are typically subject to a post-IPO lock-up period (usually 180 days) during which they cannot be sold.
Forward-Looking Statements: Any projections, forecasts, or forward-looking statements provided in these materials are speculative and based on assumptions. Actual results may differ materially. No regulatory body has vetted these forward-looking statements.
Accredited Investor Verification: This offering may be limited exclusively to "Accredited Investors" as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. Investors are required to provide documentation verifying their financial suitability and ability to bear the risks of private market assets
