How to invest in Pre-IPO shares with Accumeo

Pre-IPO investing is gaining traction in Sweden, as more investors seek opportunities in high-growth companies and established firms yet to list publicly.

This guide is designed to walk you through each step of using Accumeo - giving you the clarity and confidence to navigate private markets.

Investing in Pre-IPO shares with Accumeo is simpler than ever. Here’s how to get started in five steps.
1. Create an account
Creating an account with us is free and quick – it takes about three minutes. Before you can start using the platform, you’ll have to answer a few questions to help us ensure compliance with applicable anti-money laundering regulations.
2. Explore Pre-IPO companies and our aggregated data
Accumeo’s platform lets you explore Pre-IPO companies, track market developments, and set up watchlists. Whether you're an experienced investor or just getting started, the platform helps you navigate an exciting and often overlooked segment of the equity market.

For the first time, relevant information is brought together and presented in a clear, accessible way - making it easier to discover investment opportunities, evaluate potential deals, and monitor your portfolio’s progress.
3. Create an indication of interest
Once you’ve found a company you’re interested in, you can submit an indication of interest directly through the platform. Just specify the amount you’d like to invest, along with any conditions or preferences you may have.

Submitting an indication of interest is non-binding, but it allows us to match you with sellers looking to sell shares in the company.
4. Your interest is matched
Once we’ve found a match for you, we’ll send you a brokerage agreement. This agreement outlines the relationship between you and Accumeo, including terms such as brokerage fees. Accumeo only receives compensation if the transaction is completed, with fees typically ranging from 1% to 2.5% of the transaction amount, depending on its size and complexity.

After both the buyer and seller have signed their respective brokerage agreements, a share purchase agreement is issued. This governs the relationship between the buyer and the seller and includes key details such as price, number of shares, and relevant deadlines.
5. We execute the transaction
For companies connected to Euroclear:
You’ll receive a settlement note - a receipt of the transaction - containing details of the buyer and seller, which you forward to your bank. Your bank will then contact the seller’s bank to ensure the proper transfer of both funds and shares. Don’t forget to ensure the required funds are available in your account.

For companies not connected to Euroclear:
If a right of first refusal applies, you’ll need to wait until the notice period has expired and the company has approved the transaction — this typically takes around 30 days. Payment instructions are outlined in the signed share purchase agreement, and you’ll complete the transfer via your bank according to the agreed terms.
Done! You've successfully completed a transaction in a Pre-IPO company.
Accumeo offers a secure, transparent, and user-friendly way to invest. Whether you’re just starting out or already experienced with Pre-IPO companies, we’re here to guide you through the process.
