Is there any way to buy stock from employees now?

EquityZen had an offer to buy last week at a $75B valuation / $32 per share.

That's wildly off market, like 30%+. That's high, even for a retail platform.

What do you mean by off market? Are you saying the value should be 30%+ higher or lower, and how did you get that?

Obviously the usual kind of market isn't applicable here, so I'm curious what you mean.

[umeshunni]

I think they mean it's 30% higher than 'market'. I've seen article stating that Stripe's current internal valuation is like 60B or so. That valuation might be what they're referring to.

There are secondary markets for private companies' shares (like EquityZen) but I believe you need to be an accredited investor to participate

There have always been ways. Find an employee and make them an offer. Or use one of the many private marketplaces.
