A Private Equity Investment (PIPE) is the acquisition of publicly traded promotions at a price below the current market value per promotion. Investment firms, mutual funds, and other large, recognized investors use this acquisition method. The classic PIPE is one that offers regular or spectacular promotions at a given price, whereas the structured PIPE offers regular or spectacular exchange promises. It is important to determine the purpose of the pipe.

Private equity investment is a type of investment where the investor purchases shares in private companies which are not publicly traded on stock exchanges. Private equity investors generally expect to hold their investments for a long period of time, and plan to sell them when they feel that the company's value has increased substantially.

Private equity investment (PIPEs) is a type of venture capital in which the investor raises money from the public markets to buy shares from a company that is not publicly traded. With PIPEs, there are no disclosure requirements from the company to investors, and shareholders have less control over the company's operations.
