Carbon Valuation History

FAQ

Does Carbon have stock?

Yes, Carbon and almost all privately held companies issue stock so founders, employees, and investors can participate in equity ownership. However, because Carbon is privately held, it is more challenging to acquire shares than if the company was publicly traded. 

Is Carbon publicly traded?

No, Carbon is a privately held company. It is not publicly traded or offered directly on any stock exchange like the NYSE, Nasdaq, etc. 

Who owns Carbon stock?

As a privately held company, Carbon shares are held by its founders, management, employees, venture capital funds, or other private individuals and institutional investors. 

Disclosure rules differ for private and public companies, so it may not always be possible to know the complete ownership (cap table) of a private company like Carbon.

What is the stock symbol for Carbon?

Carbon is a privately held company. Therefore, it does not have a stock symbol or “ticker” that trades on public exchanges like the NYSE, Nasdaq, etc. 

Can I buy Carbon stock on UpMarket?

If you would like to buy shares in Carbon, please provide your information in the form at the top of this page and click the button titled “I want to buy this stock.”

One of our investor relations team members will contact you to discuss Carbon stock availability. Note: inquiries are non-binding, subject to market availability, and shares may only be purchased by accredited investors that meet all eligibility criteria.

UpMarket has offered many similar companies as Pre-IPO investments, including Airbnb, SpaceX, ByteDance, Plaid, Kraken, Databricks, and others. UpMarket also often has funds available that invest in a portfolio of companies potentially including, Carbon as well.

What is Carbon stock price?

The stock price of Carbon can be calculated by taking the valuation of the company divided by the number of shares outstanding. Because a private company can issue new shares at any time, we do not know the current number of shares outstanding.

For illustrative purposes, however, assuming Carbon has issued 250 million shares, at the estimated UpMarket valuation of $3.74 billion, each share of Carbon stock would be worth $14.97.

How do Carbon pre-IPO trades work?

Pre-IPO trades for Carbon will typically involve accredited investors purchasing shares from current shareholders through specialized investment platforms like UpMarket. Trades generally occur on the secondary market, meaning Carbon 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 Carbon 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 Carbon officially announces its intention to go public, any predictions about when or if it will do so would be speculative.

Investors interested in Carbon 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 Carbon with UpMarket?

Exiting your investment in Carbon 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 Carbon shares?

If you own Carbon 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.

How does UpMarket estimate the valuation of Carbon?

It is important to note that UpMarket’s valuation estimate for Carbon could be outdated, may not reflect all recent news or market events, and is not intended to inform any investment decision-making.
