However, there are a couple of ways you might be able to invest in Databricks before a potential IPO:

1. Accredited Investors: If you are an accredited investor (meeting certain income or net worth requirements), you can buy shares of Databricks on secondary platforms like EquityBee or Forge Global.
2. Fundrise Innovation Fund: This venture capital fund invests in pre-IPO companies, including Databricks. Its minimum investment is around $10 per share.
