For illustrative purposes, however, assuming Getaround has issued 250 million shares, at the estimated UpMarket valuation of $1.56 billion, each share of Getaround stock would be worth $6.25.
How do Getaround pre-IPO trades work?
Pre-IPO trades for Getaround will typically involve accredited investors purchasing shares from current shareholders through specialized investment platforms like UpMarket. Trades generally occur on the secondary market, meaning Getaround doesn't issue new shares or receive capital–shares are privately exchanged between two parties.
While investors aim to profit from a potential IPO or acquisition, these investments carry high risks due to limited liquidity and information. Understanding all terms and conditions is crucial, as each transaction can have unique characteristics. Investing in private companies can be extremely risky and may result in significant capital loss.
How do I exit my investment if I invest in Getaround with UpMarket?
Exiting your investment in Getaround typically involves one of these scenarios: 1) selling your shares on a secondary market to other interested investors; 2) holding shares until a liquidity event occurs, such as the company going public (IPO) or being acquired.
Investors must know that the timing and availability of these exit options are inherently unpredictable, and there is no guarantee of when or if they will occur.
How can I sell Getaround shares?
If you own Getaround shares, you may be able to find a buyer on a pre-IPO marketplace or via an introduction by a registered broker-dealer like UpMarket. It is important to note that the class of shares you own may impact your ability to sell. For example, shares issued to startup employees often have transaction limitations, including lock-up periods and a right of first refusal by the company, which may prevent you from selling your shares freely.
