Business Plan: Pre-IPO Share Marketplace

Executive Summary:

Our business idea is to create a platform that connects accredited investors with employees and individuals holding pre-IPO shares in companies like OpenAI. This platform will serve as a marketplace for buying and selling such shares, providing liquidity to pre-IPO shareholders and investment opportunities to accredited investors.

Market Opportunity:

The market for pre-IPO shares is growing as more companies choose to stay private for longer periods before going public. Investors are increasingly interested in gaining access to these shares before an IPO, and employees holding pre-IPO shares are looking for ways to monetize their shares.

Business Model:

Our platform will charge a transaction fee for each share bought or sold on the platform. We will also offer premium services for both investors and shareholders for a subscription fee. Additionally, we may partner with companies to provide liquidity events for employees holding pre-IPO shares.

Marketing Strategy:

Our marketing strategy will focus on targeting accredited investors, employees holding pre-IPO shares, and other individuals interested in investing in private companies. We will use a mix of online marketing, partnerships with financial institutions, and targeted outreach to build our user base.

Financial Projections:

Number of transactions per month: 100
Average transaction size: $10,000
Transaction fee: 2%
Monthly Revenue: 100 transactions * $10,000 * 2% = $20,000

Estimated Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR): $20,000
