Hi,
I never worked for a pre-ipo company (neither my close friends) .. can someone explain how their stock compensations work? is there a way to sell ur pre-ipo equity or have to wait till its IPO (plus 6 or 12 months window)?
I am mainly interested in companies like Lyft, Airbnb, Uber but any general info will be appreciated.
Thanks :)

Liquidity events do exist for earlier employees that received stock options (ISOs). These events give shareholders the opportunity to sell their shares to an investor seeking to increase their stake in the company.
