- thruflo22 8y agoCan you really? Firstly sharepost is curated. You need an interview and to be accepted. Secondly, most (nearly all?) investment agreements prevent share sales that aren’t approved by the other shareholders. So unless your investors agree to a secondary, you’re out of luck.
- throwaway-1283 8y agoWhat is your point? In a swapping scenario the same would apply. Plenty of people sell on secondary markets. If everyone was restricted then those businesses wouldn't exist.
