Previously competing for connections, now competing for quick reflexes? Gate Pre-IPO is "stealing VC's lunch"

Have you noticed one thing:
In the past, wanting to invest in "pre-IPO companies" required relationships, capital, and resources—three essentials; now Gate directly lowers the threshold to—one account + a bit of judgment.
This wave of digital Pre-IPO essentially does one big thing:
👉 Breaks down the "privileges" of the primary market into "commodities" that retail investors can also participate in.
The previous path was:
VC enters → company grows → IPO → retail investors take over
Now it becomes:
VC enters → you can also enter → wait together for valuation to rise
Sounds appealing, right? But don’t get too excited yet.
Which type of unicorn am I most looking forward to? Three categories:
* AI infrastructure (computing power, model platforms, greatest valuation elasticity)
* Web3 native projects (naturally suited for on-chain circulation)
* Fintech (once compliance breakthroughs, explosive potential)
What is Gate’s advantage? One sentence: earlier, lighter, more flexible
* Earlier: enter the value discovery phase ahead of time
* Lighter: reduce capital and entry barriers
* More flexible: some liquidity design, no need to wait until IPO
But the risks are also very real:
👉 Valuations are not transparent
👉 Projects may not get listed
👉 Liquidity may not be sufficient
My strategy is simple:
* Small positions for trial and error
* Diversify across multiple projects
* Prioritize exit mechanisms
As for "token-stock linkage"?
👉 I will allocate, but only as an offensive position
One sentence summary:
This is not an entry to get rich overnight, but a tool to let you "participate early in the game."
