anyone know how to invest in this company now-

other than waiting for it go public and then you are paying a massive markup in share price

If you are asking how to invest in a private company valued at billions before it goes public as an investor who doesn't have connections and billions of dollars…

The answer is simple: you don't get to.

Check out websites like the below. There are companies out there specializing in pre-ipo and secondaries where you can purchase options from current shareholders/ former employees. Hiive and EquityZen are two others that I have heard of.

I haven't used it to purchase but I have listed options from a previous employer to sell. No takers this far at the price I'm willing to give them up at.

EquityZen Funds are probably the easiest way if you don't have relationships that work on selling or buying private placements.

Do you need to hit both NW and income or just one or the other?
