Investing in startups is a lot different than investing in the overall stock market.
When stocks launch an initial public offering (IPO), they are typically actively trading until they are bought out or go out of business. The startup investing market is significantly different because it has campaigns that are qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are only up for a limited time. They also may only want to raise a certain amount of money or could be legally constrained to how much they can raise.
