Frequently asked
What am I actually buying when I invest in Plaid?
A fractional position in Plaid's shares. VeldenStake sources a finite block of real shares and resells fractions to you; your position appears in your portfolio at the prevailing private-market price and is held until Plaid goes public.
Can I sell my position before the IPO?
No. Pre-IPO shares are private and illiquid — there's no secondary market to sell them back into, and transfers require the company's approval. Your position is locked until Plaid IPOs or is acquired. This is the same arrangement every pre-IPO investor accepts.
What happens when the company goes public?
When Plaid IPOs, your position settles at the IPO price and you choose how to receive it — cash credited to your balance, or the shares delivered to you.
How is the price set?
The displayed price reflects the latest private-market reference price for the company, anchored to recent funding rounds and tender activity.
Are there any fees?
A 1% commission applies to each purchase. It's shown on the order ticket and confirmation screen before you submit — added on top of the subtotal. Deposits and withdrawals are free.
What if Plaid never IPOs?
Your position remains valid as long as Plaid exists. If it's acquired, your position is paid out at the deal price. If it stays private, you keep holding until a liquidity event.
