How do Vannevar pre-IPO trades work?

Trades generally occur on the secondary market, meaning Vannevar 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.
When is Vannevar going to go public?
The decision to go public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) is complex and depends on various factors, including the company's financial performance, market conditions, and strategic goals.
Unless Vannevar officially announces its intention to go public, any predictions about when or if it will do so would be speculative.
Investors interested in Vannevar should monitor official company communications and reliable financial news sources for any updates regarding potential IPO plans.
How do I exit my investment if I invest in Vannevar with UpMarket?
Exiting your investment in Vannevar 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 Vannevar shares?
If you own Vannevar 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.
