How you make money
Accredited investors will own an interest in an LLC, which owns the underlying shares of a private company. If the company gets acquired or goes public, EquityZen will distribute shares or cash proceeds to you. Not all private companies will get acquired or IPO, and not all IPOs or acquisitions will result in successful investments.
How EquityZen makes money
EquityZen typically charges a one-time fee when you invest, of 3 to 5% of the invested amount. There is no carried interest or other fees charged.
Is it safe?
Investment opportunities posted on this website are "private placements" of securities that are not publicly traded, are subject to holding period requirements, and are intended for investors who do not need a liquid investment. Investing in private companies may be considered highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of substantial loss of investment. Investors must be able to afford the loss of their entire investment.

Leader in the space with access to more and larger deals than most individuals would find, but their distribution mechanism has glitches and can wipe out investment returns entirely.
