How to invest into Space X and Other Innovative Late-Stage Private Companies
May 15, 2024
Stack Capital is a unique company that invests in late-stage innovative and disruptive pre-IPO companies. Traditionally, investing in these privately held companies is difficult for everyday investors because they require a high minimum investment. Stack Capital bridges this gap by being a publicly traded company on the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange), allowing you to invest in these exciting companies for around $9-10 per share (as of May 15, 2024).
Focus on Proven Growth
Unlike venture capitalists who take on early-stage risk, Stack Capital focuses on companies in growth stages and beyond. These companies have proven revenue models and impressive track records, potentially reducing investment risk for you.
