P2P Shares makes it easy and saves you money selling your pre-IPO shares. Its free to sign up and there are no up front costs when you list your shares for sale
Common methods include recent secondary market transactions, active bids and asks as well as 409A valuations.
Your listing stays active and visible in our marketplace until you sell your shares or remove the listing.
If your company exercises its ROFR, it buys your shares at the price your original buyer agreed to, meaning you still sell your shares commission free. You would be responsible for the small escrow fee because the platform buyer is no longer a party to the transaction.
Because of the company’s ROFR,a transaction usually takes 2-6 weeks from the time P2P Shares matches you with a buyer. The third party escrow company takes over the process and keeps you apprised of the timelines and next steps.
Escrow fees are split between the seller and the buyer. If the buyer falls out of escrow, you receive an escrow credit for a “new buyer” match. If your company exercises its ROFR and you sell your shares, you are responsible for 100% of the escrow fee.
