hobbyDB is building a giant database of every collectible ever made – from diecast cars to action figures to comic books to corkscrews. On their platform, all of those things are interrelated in every possible way. That means you can quickly and easily find everything made by Mattel, Märklin, Matchbox or Maisto. Or you can find every model of a Ford Thunderbird, Harley Davidson motorcycle, or Airbus jet. You can even find a manual for your vintage car, everything that has Coca Cola logo, has a World War II theme or is related to your favorite TV show or fictional character or movie star (whether that’s Star Wars or James Bond or Bob Hope). It’s also more than just a place to research, browse and reminisce. The database powers a collection management system where users can upload images and record data about their own collectibles to keep track of them. There is also a marketplace where users can list their items for sale with just a few clicks, build wish lists and receive alerts when stuff they want to buy goes up for sale.

Trading hobbyDB Stock

How to invest in hobbyDB stock?

Accredited investors can buy pre-IPO stock in companies like hobbyDB through EquityZen funds. These investments are made available by existing hobbyDB shareholders who sell their shares on our platform. Typically, these are early employees who need to fund a life event – house, education, etc. Accredited investors are then offered the opportunity to invest in this stock through a fund, like those used by hedge funds serving large investors. While not without risk, investing in private companies can help investors reach goals of portfolio diversification, access to potential growth and high potential return.

If I invest, how do I exit my investment?

There are two ways to exit your private company investment on EquityZen's marketplace. The first is if the company has an exit event like an IPO, merger or acquisition. In that case, we will distribute the shares and/or cash to you directly. The second way is through an Express Deal on EquityZen, if eligible. An Express Deal allows you to sell your allocation of private shares in a given private company to another investor on EquityZen's marketplace. More information on Express Deals can be found here and exit information can be found here.
