Anyone here investing through pre-IPO platforms? Considering deals like OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.

I’m a private investor and I’ve been looking into pre-IPO investment platforms like:

\- Forge

\- Linqto

\- Hiive

Some recent listings I’ve seen include companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Databricks — but the markups seem steep, and it’s tough to judge secondary liquidity and actual access rights.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has:

\- Actually invested through these platforms

\- Has insight into how allocations and fees work

\- Thinks these are solid long-term plays or way overhyped

Any platforms you recommend avoiding? Anything you’ve done privately through SAFE?

Happy to share what I’ve found so far too. Appreciate your insights!
