    Was the option to purchase the stock at a reduced rate, or just to purchase it before the IPO? When that happened, it just seemed like a way to inflate their opening stock price by getting the most hard core users to literally buy in.

        Ok, thanks, I’m unfamiliar with pre IPO access, so that’s helpful. Just to make sure I understand, from Reddit’s perspective, they weren’t setting the option price lower than the market price when the option offered? There was just a pre ipo market which you got the ability to trade on, no income earned when executing the option?
