Investments through IPOGO are structured through fund vehicles. IPOGO has engaged a fund administrator, who has been contracted and paid to administer IPOGO funds, including providing K-1s and making distributions to investors for the life of a given fund.

There will be a share price at the time of a liquidity event (either through acquisition or IPO). Should you seek to exit your investment early (before a liquidity event) we cannot guarantee that there will be new information to corroborate a new share price such as a new funding round.
