How To Use Your Rocket Dollar IRA To Invest On EquityZen

  • Created

EquityZen allows Rocket Dollar members to access pre-IPO stocks using EquityZen's online trading marketplace. 

Before creating an account with EquityZen, you will first need to create a Rocket Dollar account at RocketDollar.com

Please note that the time required to fund your Rocket Dollar IRA depends on your transferring custodian's processing time and can take anywhere from two to ten business days.  We recommend calling your previous custodian after you receive notification from Rocket Dollar support that your request has been submitted to confirm your transfer is in process and complete any additional steps the previous custodian requires.  If possible, request an expedited turnaround time on your transfer. 

In the meantime, you can commit to your investment on EquityZen by following the steps below: 

1) Visit EquityZen's website and either sign in to your existing account or create a new one by hovering over the Login in the upper right-hand corner.  If this is your first time on EquityZen, you will be asked to provide basic personal information in order to create your account.
