Late venture investors have two options to get profit.
The first strategy for unitholders is to sell the asset on a secondary market. Every time the valuation of a company rises, the price of a unit increases proportionally. The secondary market is currently running on Beta testing.
The second way is to wait for the company to go public and have a cash-out event after the lockup period. You will receive a payment equal to the number of units multiplied by the new price on the public market.
