You should be able to get a non-recourse loan, i.e. where you never owe more than the stock is worth. That said, Reddit was one of the more secondary-unfriendly firms, if memory serves correctly, if you didn’t have Board or senior management connections.
it's a non-recourse loan though, so if Reddit didn't IPO and you can't pay, you don't owe money you don't have.
