You clearly know more about this since it affects you personally. But airbnb shares aren’t that illiquid. I purchased some myself in a secondary market. You might lose 5% to commission, which I guess is enough to want an ipo if you have a lot of money tied up there.

How/where can one purchase Airbnb shares? Is there a minimum amount needed to be purchased?

The minimum varies from $20k to $500k depending on platform and target company. Hard to find and in high demand shares are at the higher end.

Thanks. What platform/website is used to buy shares like this?

What site/market did you use? That's an interesting concept I had never heard of!

The company I used Equidate got renamed then acquired by sharespost. equityzen has lower minimum investments.
