An IPO is an initial public offering, in which shares of a private company are made available publicly for the first time, allowing a company to raise equity capital from public investors. Companies must meet specific legal, governance, and accounting requirements imposed by the securities exchanges and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to conduct an IPO. Companies hire investment banks to market the offering, evaluate investor demand, and set the IPO price.

A pre-IPO placement is a late-stage offering to raise funds by a company in advance of its initial public offering. The investors are typically private equity firms, hedge funds, and other large institutional investors. Due to the size of the investments and the significant risk, the investors typically receive a discount from the price in the eventual IPO. Individual investors rarely participate in pre-IPO placements. They are generally restricted to high-net-worth individuals with a sophisticated knowledge of the financial markets. For the company, the placement is a way to raise funds and offset the risk that the IPO will not be as successful as hoped.
