The 3 Main Ways to Invest in SpaceX Pre-IPO

The 3 Main Ways to Invest in SpaceX Pre-IPO

1. Invest in Funds That Own SpaceX Shares

• Some mutual funds, ETFs, and private funds already hold SpaceX stock.
• Examples include venture-style or “interval” funds.
• These are the most accessible option for regular investors.

Downside:

• Many of these funds trade at large premiums to their actual value (NAV).
• You’re not just buying SpaceX—you’re buying a basket of assets with fees.

2. Buy Into Secondary Markets (Pre-IPO Share Platforms)

• Platforms like EquityZen allow investors to buy shares from employees or early investors.
• This gives more direct exposure to SpaceX equity.

Downside:

• Usually limited to accredited (wealthy) investors.
• Shares can be illiquid and hard to sell.
• SpaceX can block transactions via “right of first refusal.”

3. Invest Indirectly Through Related Public Companies

• Some public companies or funds have business ties or ownership stakes in SpaceX.
• Buying those stocks gives indirect exposure.

Downside:

• SpaceX may only be a small part of the company’s value, so returns won’t track it closely.

Please take into account that the majority of IPO's sell off post IPO and this will likely not make money for years if ever. If you are considering investing in this I would recommend placing it in the high risk category of your portfolio.
