Investing in private companies through equity crowdfunding is a long-term commitment and comes with much higher risks when compared with other mainstream options.
Unlike publicly traded stocks on the KLSE, private company shares are illiquid. This means that the process to find a buyer will take time, and there is NO GUARANTEE that you will find a buyer willing to purchase your shares at your desired price.
How you proceed depends on whether the company is listed on our secondary market, PSTX.
1. If the company is listed on PSTX
If the company has chosen to list its shares on our secondary trading platform, the process is streamlined. You can log in to your pitchIN account to place a sell order directly on the platform.
For a step-by-step guide on how PSTX works, you may refer here.
Whether a company wants to be listed on PSTX is entirely at the discretion of the company’s management. If your invested company is not yet listed, we encourage you to reach out to the founders to express your interest in seeing them onboarded to PSTX.
2. If the company is NOT listed on PSTX
If the company is not on the secondary market, finding a buyer requires a more manual approach.
Buyers will likely need to be identified from the company's founders, their network, existing shareholders, or your personal network. While we will do our best to work with the company to identify interested parties, pitchIN cannot guarantee that a buyer will be found or that a transaction will be completed.
IF you have identified a prospective buyer, let us know and we will reach out to facilitate the process.
IF you have NOT identified a prospective buyer, you may express your intent to sell. We will inform the company's founders of your intent and work with the company to identify prospective buyers.
A 1% administrative fee will be charged to both the buyer and the seller to facilitate the secondary share transactions in both cases.
