To get a return on investment, private company shareholders may want to sell shares now instead of waiting until a ‘possible’ later time when the company will be acquired or go public in an initial public offering (IPO). Given that the length of time to an exit event can (and often is) longer than originally slated, selling private shares in a pre-exit scenario can be a viable alternative.
