# Linqto

> Linqto built a mobile-first route for individual investors to buy indirect interests in late-stage private companies, replacing broker calls and large minimums with a catalog, a cart, and series LLC investment vehicles. By April 2024 it said it had 750,000 registered users across 110 countries and more than $350 million invested across 60-plus companies. The same structure that made access feel simple later became the center of a difficult regulatory and legal reckoning: Linqto filed for Chapter 11 in July 2025, and a court confirmed its reorganization plan in February 2026.
