Pre-IPO investing involves purchasing shares of a private company before it goes public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO). These opportunities allow investors to enter at an earlier stage — often at a lower valuation — with the potential for significant returns once the company lists on a public exchange

Access to Pre-IPO deals is typically limited to accredited or qualified investors and is facilitated through specialized firms like Goldman Marketing Group. We perform extensive due diligence and offer select opportunities to vetted investors through private placements or secondary transactions.

Pre-IPO investments are generally available only to:

• Accredited Investors (with sufficient income or net worth)

• Qualified Clients (with $1.1M+ in assets managed post-investment)

• Qualified Purchasers (as defined by SEC regulations)

• Institutional Investors (funds, endowments, RIAs, etc.)
  These restrictions exist to ensure investors understand the risks and can absorb potential losses.

Like all private market investments, Pre-IPO shares carry risks:

• Illiquidity – No public market for shares until (and if) the company goes public

• Valuation volatility – No daily price discovery like public markets

• Delayed exits – IPO timelines can shift or never materialize

• Total loss potential – There is a chance of losing your entire investment
  Due diligence and access to credible deal flow help mitigate these risks.

Benefits include:

• Early entry at attractive valuations

• Access to high-growth companies before the public market

• Diversification beyond traditional stocks and bonds

• Upside potential upon IPO or acquisition
  Investing before public listing can lead to outsized returns if the company succeeds.

Key evaluation points include:

• Company fundamentals: revenue, growth rate, market size

• Cap table structure and dilution risk

• Exit strategy: IPO timeline or acquisition potential

• Management team experience and track record

• Current investor base (VC backing, strategic partners)
  Goldman Marketing Group provides supporting materials and insights for each opportunity.

Most Pre-IPO investments have a 2–5 year horizon, depending on the company’s IPO plans or likelihood of acquisition. Some deals may offer early liquidity through secondary markets, but investors should be prepared for a longer-term commitment.

Yes, as with any private equity investment, capital loss is possible. Companies may delay or cancel IPO plans, encounter financial issues, or fail outright. That’s why Pre-IPO investments are suited for investors with high risk tolerance and diversified portfolios.

Yes. Minimums typically range from $20,000 to $100,000, depending on the deal structure, investor eligibility, and stage of the offering. Institutional investors may commit significantly more.

If the company does not go public:

• You may still exit through secondary market sales, although liquidity may be limited

• The company could be acquired, offering a private liquidity event

• Some firms offer redemption clauses or repurchase agreements, though not guaranteed

• Alternatively, you may hold the investment long-term until another opportunity arises
