Gusto valuation & stock, explained

Is Gusto publicly traded? What is Gusto’s valuation, is there a stock price, and how do its shares actually change hands? The plain-English answer.

Short answer: Gusto is a private company — there is no public “Gusto stock” ticker you can buy on an exchange. It was most recently valued at roughly ~$9.5B (2021-08). This figure is from 2021; a more recent valuation has not been publicly confirmed. Only existing shareholders can sell, in private secondary transactions, and there is no confirmed IPO date.

What is Gusto’s valuation?

Gusto is a private US fintech company. As a private company it has no live share price; its “valuation” comes from funding rounds, tenders and private secondary trades — most recently about ~$9.5B (as of 2021-08). This figure is from 2021; a more recent valuation has not been publicly confirmed. Any private valuation is a point-in-time snapshot, not a market quote — see why a headline valuation differs from what one share is worth.

Is Gusto publicly traded?

No. Gusto has not had an IPO, so there is no ticker and you cannot buy Gusto stock through a normal brokerage. The only Gusto shares that exist are held privately.

Can you buy Gusto stock before the IPO?

Only in limited ways, and not through an app that simply sells you shares. Because Gusto is private, every share is already held by an employee, ex-employee or investor. Outside investors occasionally gain exposure by buying from a holder in a private secondary — restricted, subject to Gusto’s transfer rules and a right of first refusal, and negotiated privately. PrivateTechShares does not sell or broker shares. See the routes pre-IPO shares change hands.

Can Gusto employees sell their shares?

Yes — if you hold vested, transferable Gusto shares, you can sell in a private secondary or a company-run tender, subject to Gusto’s transfer rules. Our dedicated guide: how to sell your Gusto stock →
