FAQ
Below we’ve provided some info on how our platform works, where we are headed, and general questions
What makes Off-Piste different?
We aren't trading for trading's sake. By creating liquidity trading pre-IPO companies, Off-Piste traders are actually helping determine the valuation of these companies. This makes for a less volatile public equities market, lets the companies you trade better understand how to price their IPO's, and for the first time open up the opportunity for retail investors around the world to participate in the profitability of global innovation.
What companies will be there?
Late stage startups in major global innovation hubs expecting to go public within the next 18 months. Usually these are the big names you hear about in the news.
Geographies?
Give us a bit. We're striving to create products that capture the full power of decentralization but also make sure we don't flaunt the laws. The easy way is to go ex-US but we'd love to be the first to let our fellow Americans get on board as soon as possible.
