What Is

Pre-IPO Investing?

It’s simply buying a company’s shares before they hit the stock market.

You step in during the company’s growth phase—revenues are strong, expansion plans are set, and an IPO is on the horizon—so you own a piece before the wider public gets its first chance.

How Does Pre-IPO Investing Work?

  • The company decides to raise capital before going public.

  • It offers a limited number of shares to private investors at a fixed price.

  • Investors can participate through advisory firms, private placements, VC/PE funds, or secondary marketplaces.
  • Equentis Investech  performs a detailed analysis of the company’s financials, business model, growth prospects, and IPO readiness.

  • Pricing is based on projected valuation and market potential.
  • Investors commit funds based on share pricing and minimum ticket size.

  • Shares are allotted privately, usually under a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA).
  • Investors hold the shares until the IPO occurs.

  • There is a lock-in period post-IPO (typically 6 months as per SEBI norms for certain investors).
  • Equentis will help you take an exit in the Pre-IPO market at an appropriate time, once we feel the valuations have peaked out.
  • Once the company goes public, shares become liquid.
  • Investors can choose to sell at the IPO price or hold for further appreciation.
