Get access to some of the most exciting IPOs and other Offerings! Until now, only the privileged clients of investment banks, institutional investors or the wealthy had access to IPOs and other Offerings. My IPO has changed this by creating a marketplace of selected IPOs and other Offerings that everyone can invest in. We believe that access to wealth creation should be universal and not just available to those that already have wealth or privileged access to these types of Offerings. My IPO was created to give all investors the opportunity to invest in some of the most exciting IPOs and other Offerings. It's easy to sign up, easy to use and equally easy to find Offerings to invest in. Please join us as we continue to fight for equal access to wealth creation. Features Offers -View all Active and Closed IPOs and other Offerings Research -Review details, description and documents of each Offering Alerts -Get push notifications, texts and emails with updates and when New Offers become available! Invest -Simply invest after you have reviewed an Offering! Price My IPO sign up is free and there are no associated membership fees to maintain an account. You are not charged any fees when you purchase offers and invest. For publicly traded securities there is a $10 trade fee charged should you buy shares in the open market (outside of an offering) or sell shares in the future, plus we pass along regulatory fees such as SEC and TAF fees as part of the “Commission/Service Fees”. The SEC and TAF fees or “Service Fees” are very minimal charges. For non-public securities there may be no liquidity, limited liquidity and redemption fees may apply if redeemed before maturity as outlined in each offering prospectus.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: EquityZen at 3.9 against My IPO's 3.3. EquityZen also leads on ratings volume (86 vs 7) and iOS requirement (9 vs 15.1). My IPO's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 43%) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EquityZen holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EquityZen has 86 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of My IPO's written reviews are positive against 43% of EquityZen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My IPO ships an update every 11 days, EquityZen every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
