Do you guys ever assess pre-ipo companies?

Some are a very safe bet to eventually IPO, it's just a matter of when. I'm talking about companies like Databricks, OpenAI, etc.

How do you guys assess other companies with a bit more of a niche though, like Patreon. Would you ever consider working for such a company and getting paid in equity? Do you think Patreon employees should consider their equity "fake" and unlikely to ever materialize?
