No, Substack is not publicly traded. Retail investors can’t buy Substack stock directly today, so the realistic paths are waiting for an IPO or using public proxies like Spotify and The New York Times.
No, Ramp is not publicly traded. Retail investors usually end up looking at BILL, AXP, and CPAY as the closest public alternatives, or waiting for a future IPO that has not been announced.

No, Mars Inc. is not publicly traded. Retail investors can’t buy Mars stock directly, so the realistic options are waiting for a rare IPO, using accredited-only private secondary markets, or looking at public peers like Mondelez and Hershey.
No, Brex is not publicly traded. It was set to be acquired by Capital One in a $5.15 billion stock-and-cash deal announced in January 2026, which makes the public path to ownership much more likely to run through COF than through Brex itself.
No, LEGO is not publicly traded. The closest way for most investors to get exposure is through public toy peers like Mattel, Hasbro, and Spin Master while waiting to see if LEGO ever changes course.
No, Valve (Steam) is not publicly traded. Retail investors usually have to look at public gaming comps, wait for a possible IPO, or — if accredited — explore private secondary markets when shares are available.
