Liquidity Risk: Pre-IPO investments are highly illiquid. Funds are locked up until a liquidity event (IPO, acquisition), which may never occur or be delayed.
Valuation Uncertainty: Private company valuations are less transparent and more subjective than public market valuations, leading to higher uncertainty.
IPO Failure/Delay Risk: The company may fail to go public, or the IPO may be significantly delayed, impacting your investment timeline and exit opportunities.
Dilution Risk: Future funding rounds can dilute your ownership percentage, potentially reducing your per-share value at IPO.
Market Conditions Risk: General market downturns or sector-specific challenges can negatively impact IPO valuations and success.
Company Performance Risk: The company may not achieve its projected growth or profitability targets, directly affecting its IPO valuation.
Competitive Landscape: Increased competition can impact market share and future growth prospects.
