Why Invest PRE-IPO?

What Is Pre‑IPO Investing?

Pre-IPO investing involves buying shares in a private company before it becomes publicly listed. These companies are typically in a late-stage growth phase, offering early investors the opportunity to enter before public market valuations take effect.

Key Benefits

Potential for High Returns

Investing before IPO can offer substantial upside. Some companies have delivered returns exceeding 300% within the first year of going public.

Early Access to High-Growth Companies

Pre-IPO shares are typically reserved for institutions and insiders. Pepins opens the door to private investors looking to invest before these companies go public.

Portfolio Diversification

Private shares often move independently of public markets, helping balance and stabilize a long-term investment strategy.

Invest in Established Businesses

Unlike early-stage startups, pre-IPO companies have passed key growth milestones and often show strong revenue, scalability, and market presence.

Understand the Risks

Risk Description
Illiquidity Pre-IPO shares are not easily sold. Expect to hold for several years.
Valuation Uncertainty Prices are set privately and may not reflect post-IPO market value.
Company Risk Even promising firms may not reach IPO or profitability. Risk is always present.

Pre‑IPO vs. IPO: What’s the Difference?

Pre‑IPO Investing IPO Investing
Enter early at private valuations Access at regulated public pricing
Higher potential returns Lower relative upside
Longer holding periods Immediate liquidity post-listing
