Stack Exchange is the largest network of websites for software developers including Stack Overflow, the pre-eminent destination site for programmers to find, ask, and answer their questions. Founded in 2008 by Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood, the company was built on the premise that serving and enriching the developer community at large would lead to a better, smarter Internet. Since then, the Stack Exchange network has grown into one of the largest websites in the world, with Stack Overflow alone serving more than 26 million professional and novice programmers each month. The broader Stack Exchange Network has expanded to cover topics as diverse as Mathematics, Home Improvement, Statistics, and English Language and Usage.

Trading Stack Exchange Stock
How to invest in Stack Exchange stock?
Accredited investors can buy pre-IPO stock in companies like Stack Exchange through EquityZen funds. These investments are made available by existing Stack Exchange shareholders who sell their shares on our platform. Typically, these are early employees who need to fund a life event â 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.

More information on Express Deals can be found here and exit information can be found here.
