Michael Rubin launched Kynetic on September 12, 2011, a next-generation commerce company consisting of three consumer Internet businesses: Fanatics, Rue La La and ShopRunner. Prior to the launch of Kynetic, GSI Commerce, Inc. was acquired by eBay Inc. for $2.4 billion on June 17, 2011. As part of the transaction, GSI sold its interests in ShopRunner, Rue La La and Fanatics to the newly formed Kynetic. Today, GSI, an eBay Inc. company, operates as a separate business alongside eBay Marketplace and PayPal, while eBay retains minority interests in ShopRunner and Rue La La. Earlier in 2011, GSI acquired Fanatics, Inc., then a Jacksonville, Florida-based company that operated more than 250 e-commerce websites, including footballfanatics.com, and over 60 e-commerce stores for collegiate and professional sports partners and media organizations.

How to invest in Kynetic stock?

Accredited investors can buy pre-IPO stock in companies like Kynetic through EquityZen funds. These investments are made available by existing Kynetic 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.
