I bought CBRS pre IPO. All went well until the IPO of CBRS. the fist distributions happened 2 months ago, up to today, 5 different distributions happened and I have still didn't receive anything. I keep following up with them but they never answer. I believe it is a scam. I sent so many follow ups emails and haven't got a return.

Equityzen used to be good but the partnership with Morgan Stanley is a challenge. Disbursement of shares with Morgan Stanley is a mess. Despite multiple reminders, they do not follow through. I have investments through Hiive and Forge who have been excellent.

Excellent follow-through in all aspects of the transaction. Equity Zen has vastly improved their process - most noticeable is the payment processing with third party custodians - and it’s now at a level I would expect from Morgan Stanley.
