Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and ContingenciesThe Company is subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including arbitration, class actions and other litigation, some of which include claims for substantial or unspecified damages. The Company is also the subject of inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies. The Company reviews its lawsuits, regulatory inquiries and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and provides disclosures and records loss contingencies in accordance with the loss contingencies accounting guidance. The Company establishes an accrual for losses at management’s best estimate when the Company assesses that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If no amount within the range is considered a better estimate than any other amount, an accrual for losses is recorded based on the bottom amount of the range. Accrual for loss contingencies are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and expensed in general and administrative
expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors these matters for developments that would affect the likelihood of a loss and the accrued amount, if any, and adjusts the amount as appropriate.
Legal Proceeding
On January 7, 2022, Erika McKiernan, in her capacity as Stockholder Representative for the former stockholders of SharesPost, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, asserting claims in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 10, 2020, by and among the Company, SharesPost, Thanksgiving Merger Sub, Inc., and Erika McKiernan as the Stockholder Representative, as amended on November 6, 2020 (the "SharesPost Merger Agreement”). In general, the complaint asserts breaches of the SharesPost Merger Agreement and seeks declaratory judgements establishing those breaches. The Company is unable to predict the outcome, nor the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve this action. At this juncture, the Company does not believe this action will have a material adverse impact on its operations or financial position. The Company believes the allegations set forth in this action are without merit and intends to defend vigorously against the lawsuit. On February 24, 2022, the Company filed its Answer and a counterclaim denying the alleged claims. On March 9, 2022, SharesPost submitted its Reply denying the Company's counterclaim and the majority of the Company's allegations. In August 2022, SharesPost filed an Amended Complaint adding the public company parent, Forge Global Holdings, Inc. as a party to the action. No provision for a loss contingency has been recorded as the amount of losses, if any, is not estimable as of December 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2021 and as of December 21, 2022 , the Company had a receivable of $1.6 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets, which it expects to collect from the escrow related to acquisition of IRA Services, Inc. Certain additional claims were filed against this escrow and, per a ruling in January 2023, one of these claims is likely to proceed to trial. Despite this development, the Company is of the view that the claim is not expected to have a significant impact on the likelihood of collecting the aforementioned receivable.

401(k) Plan
The Company has established a tax-qualified retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Code for all of its U.S. employees, including executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements, including requirements relating to age and length of service. The Company matches 2% of every dollar contributed to the plan by employees, including executive officers, up to a maximum of $5.8 thousand. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company recorded 401(k) contribution expense related to the defined contribution plan of $1.0 million, $0.5 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, in compensation and benefits in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
