How I’m Investing in SpaceX, OpenAI, & More!

And, You Can Do It Too.

Dear Investors,

I’m thrilled to share with you an extraordinary investment opportunity that I believe is a game-changer. 

As an investor in privately-held companies, particularly in the tech sector, I’ve always been drawn to fast-growing firms with strong leadership. 

My belief is that generational wealth is built in the early stages of a company, often long before an IPO.

Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures sums it up well: 

“Venture capital is all about capturing the value between the startup phase and the public company phase.”

However, a significant challenge has been the inaccessibility of these investment opportunities to everyday investors. 

Traditionally, only after venture capitalists and founders have reaped the benefits are retail investors given a chance to invest, usually at the IPO stage. 

This system is primarily due to regulations intended to protect from risky investments but also limits the potential for significant returns to a small, accredited investor population.

In 2016, only 13% of the U.S. population qualified as accredited investors, able to invest in large privately-held companies. 

This discrepancy in investment opportunities creates a gap between the wealthy and retail investors.

Enter Destiny (D/XYZ) — DXYZ

To bridge this gap, Sohail Prasad and Samvit Ramadurgam, founders of Forge Global, introduced Destiny, a platform aimed at democratizing access to private company investments. 

According to Destiny, best-in-class companies.

“The Destiny Tech100 is designed to be an exchange-listed portfolio of the top 100 high-growth tech companies — providing everyday investors access to these private market leaders for the first time.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Destiny Tech100, companies must have been vetted by top US institutional investors and meet key health metrics.

Further, the companies in the portfolio will generally have reached a level of maturity and stability expected of a late-stage venture-backed company.”

Destiny’s mission is to provide liquidity, access, transparency, and efficiency in the private markets. 

The platform allows accredited investors to invest in private companies like SpaceX, Stripe, and Reddit.

The Problem

Despite the opportunities presented by platforms like Forge Global, the average investor still faces significant barriers, such as accreditation requirements, high investment minimums, and limited access to high-potential companies.
