TechCrunchOpenAI FAQ
Can I buy OpenAI shares or equity?
OpenAI is privately held, so its shares and equity aren't listed on public stock exchanges or available through most brokerage accounts. SOAR doesn't sell OpenAI equity — instead you can take a position on OpenAI's valuation through synthetic prediction markets.
How can I get exposure to OpenAI before its IPO?
Direct pre-IPO equity in OpenAI is typically limited to employees and accredited investors trading on private secondary markets. On SOAR, anyone on the waitlist can get exposure to OpenAI's valuation (most recently around $997B) through synthetic markets — without buying or holding real shares.
