Question 1

What is Pre-IPO

Accepted Answer

Pre-IPO investments are investments in shares of private companies at a stage prior to their public listing (IPO). SEGMENT Capital partners select top-tier companies from Silicon Valley that, based on key indicators, are expected to go public within the next 1–3 years. These companies are often larger than many publicly traded firms, with valuations exceeding $1 billion.
Until recently, such opportunities were доступные only to large investors with capital starting from several million dollars. SEGMENT Capital partners have made these investments accessible with a minimum investment amount starting from $10,000.

Question 2

Application fill rate

Accepted Answer

Allocation is the percentage of an application that is executed. The higher the demand for a particular investment, the smaller the share allocated to each investor. For example, if you submit an application for $100,000 and the allocation is 30%, you will receive shares worth $30,000, while the remaining $70,000 will be returned to your account and will not be invested.
In 2025, the average allocation for IPO opportunities was approximately 33%. Allocation for pre-IPO investments is typically 100%, as the purchase mechanism differs.

Question 3

Why high yield and high risk?

Accepted Answer

Volatile private valuations, past regulatory actions, competition, and adoption risk.

Question 4

Pre-IPO company selection

Accepted Answer

SEGMENT Capital partners primarily focus on companies founded and developed in Silicon Valley, California, USA. The region is a global hub for leading technology companies and the birthplace of startups shaping the future.
The second key criterion is growth driven by institutional capital. Our partners select companies that demonstrate rapid scaling and consistently attract funding from top-tier investment funds at each stage of development.
The third criterion is business maturity. Only companies with established operations and valuations ranging from hundreds of millions to billions of dollars are considered. These are not early-stage startups, but companies that, based on all indicators, are expected to go public within the next 1–3 years.

Question 5

Can I exit early?

Accepted Answer

Secondary liquidity is limited; transfer rights and lockups are contract-specific—ask your manager.

Question 6

Price updates

Accepted Answer

Until a company goes public, its share price changes from one funding round to another. These updates do not occur frequently, but we continuously monitor key company developments within investor portfolios and keep clients informed.
While share prices for some companies can be found in public sources, prices from the latest funding round and the secondary (OTC) market do not always match. In some cases, shares are traded at a premium to the most recent round.

Question 7

Where do I get legal documents?

Accepted Answer

After qualification, the partner provides the offer, risk factors, and SPV/fund structure if applicable.

Question 8

Exit before IPO

Accepted Answer

If you wish to exit an investment prior to the IPO — for example, to lock in profits due to an increase in share prices — our partners can provide this opportunity. No additional fees are charged for an early exit.

Question 9

Alternative exit scenarios

Accepted Answer

In addition to selling shares or exiting via an IPO, there are several scenarios in which SEGMENT Capital partners may close a pre-IPO investment:
M&A transaction — the company is acquired by another company. In this case, the investor’s profit or loss depends on the deal terms. If the acquisition is made at a premium, it can result in a highly favorable outcome for investors.
Company bankruptcy — in this scenario, the investor does not receive any return. However, such cases are rare. Among the companies selected by our partners, there have been no such instances.
Secondary market sale (initiated by partners) — if it becomes clear that an IPO will not take place, is postponed indefinitely, or the company’s outlook deteriorates (e.g., inability to raise new funding, prolonged debt over three years, lack of revenue growth, etc.), our partners may sell the shares on the secondary market in the best interest of investors.

Question 10

Fees

Accepted Answer

For participation in pre-IPO investments, SEGMENT Capital partners charge the following fees:
Entry fee – from 3.5% of the invested amount (depending on the selected tariff). Charged at the start of the investment.
Exit fee – from 0.5% of the amount received from the sale of shares (depending on the selected tariff). Charged upon closing the investment.
Performance fee – 20% of net profit. Charged upon closing the investment, after all other fees have been applied.
