SharesPost for Buyers
What can SharesPost do for me?
SharesPost helps you buy shares in the most promising private companies. SharesPost aggregates sellers and organizes their posts into separate bulletin boards for each company. Buyers can also post contracts anonymously to purchase shares on their own terms. The SharesPost system provides you with the information, tools, forms and process to quickly and painlessly acquire shares.
How do I get started?
You have two ways to buy your shares:Self-service option: Review the sellers’ posts. If any are acceptable, just click “Agree to Buy” and follow the step-by-step instructions that end with the opening of escrow. If you want to learn more about a seller beforehand, just click “Email Seller” to begin a direct dialogue. You can also click “Post to Buy” and name your own terms. All posts are anonymous. Once your post goes live on the bulletin board, SharesPost notifies all known potential sellers of the company's stock.
ORBroker option: We have teamed up with brokers specializing in late-stage, venture-backed private companies and made them available to the SharesPost community. These brokers are experts in finding sellers and managing the resulting transaction. To connect with a broker, click “Post to Buy” on the company’s bulletin board page and then select the broker option.
