New on Valura

Own a piece of top private companies, before they IPO.

Pre-IPO investing is now on Valura. Invest in the most exciting private companies with the same process you already use for stocks.

Available to non-US based investors. Review minimums, fees, and risks before you invest.

Diversify your portfolio

Private companies don't trade on public exchanges, so they can behave differently from the stocks and ETFs you already hold.

Potential for higher returns

Much of a company's growth can happen while it's private. Earlier access means more room to grow, with more risk to match.

Access to private innovation

Rockets, AI labs, next-generation finance. Many of the most ambitious companies aren't listed on public markets yet.

Why Private Markets

The world's largest companies are private

The number of U.S. public companies has fallen by about half since the 1990s. Much of a company's growth today happens before it ever reaches the public market.

50%

Fewer U.S. public companies than 30 years ago.

87%

Of U.S. companies with $100M+ revenue are private.

13 yrs

Median age of a U.S. company at IPO, up from 10 in 2018.

Sources: World Bank, listed domestic companies (1996 peak vs. 2025). S&P Capital IQ via Apollo Global Management, April 2024. Renaissance Capital, 2025. Educational information only, not a projection of future results.

Access to private companies used to be reserved for the largest institutions and the ultra-wealthy. Not anymore.

Case Study
SPACEX

SpaceX saw most of its growing while it was private.

SpaceX was valued near $210B in 2024. It listed on the Nasdaq in June 2026 at $135 a share, about $1.75 trillion. Most of that climb happened before the ticker existed.

+733%

Change in company valuation, 2024 to its June 2026 listing. Not an investor return.

One company, chosen with hindsight. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and most private companies never list.

The SPV Structure

How you own interest in these private companies.

You invest through a fund called a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) that pools money from multiple accredited investors and holds shares of one private company. You own a piece of the SPV fund, and the fund owns the shares.

Buying into these companies directly can take millions. An SPV pools capital so you can participate at a much lower minimum.
