Yes, I invested before it was listed; I have invested in a number start ups before they were listed. Facebook would be an example. The vast majority of corporations are unlisted. If by listed, you mean listed on the NYSE or the AMEX, there are lots, perhaps, most, major corporations are unlisted. Apple was famously unlisted for decades though it was one of the largest corporations in the world. Perhaps you are conflating the definitions of a public vs privately held corporations and a listed stock.
