Do you invest in private companies through EquityZen, EquityBee or similar companies. What’s the minimum investment amount for good companies (Reddit, Rippling etc)? Are there any gotchas? Success/Blunder stories? #personalfinance #investments
no

Nah
Yes. Equityzen. Minimum investment amount depends on your risk taking strategy. I usually reserve a small % of my net worth for these pre-IPO companies. As for gotchas/success/blunder stories, I've learnt the hard way to only bet on the jockey not the tech/product- ex, invest in a company led by a CEO with a previous track record of taking a company public.
any names that you want to share?
my friend tried equityzen it and told that he was unable to buy stocks of stripe and spacex. cl1337, which companies have you invested in ?
