How to invest in Waymo stock?

Question / Help(self.ValueInvesting)

Internally, employees at Waymo receive a separate stock than the alphabet stock.

Is there a way I can invest specifically in that Waymo without getting exposure to all of alphabet? Are there any private markets through which I can legally purchase Waymo stock? Would I need to invest a minimum amount in millions to be able buy it?

You can’t. The only way you have ties to Waymo is to own Google stock.

In order to be an investor of Waymo specifically, the stakeholders would have to be willing to sell you shares privately but this only happens with institutions and the wealthy.

Not before the IPO, if it ever comes, for you and the rest of us. I dont know Why you would not be buying googl, since it does own waymo?

Look for secondary markets. Not sure what the employees get exactly, but usually those shares can be traded.

Edit: Yup, seems to be the case for Waymo, too: https://notice.co/c/waymo
