Investors Lost Access to SpaceX Shares Held via Special-Purpose Vehicles
In 2020, Ram Rupireddy invested $17,250 through Late Stage Management, a New Jersey firm offering stakes in special-purpose vehicles (SPVs) that held shares in private companies like SpaceX. These SPVs, designed for accredited investors, operate with limited regulation and provide indirect access to private shares. Rupireddy later learned the SpaceX shares were sold before the company's public offering in June 2023, preventing him from benefiting from the stock's significant valuation increase.
