No — you cannot buy Plaid stock. Plaid is privately held and has no listed shares.
Who owns Plaid
Plaid is a private financial-infrastructure company owned by its founders, employees and venture investors.
What would have to happen before you could buy shares
A US listing starts with an S-1 registration statement filed with the SEC. That filing is public, and it is the first point at which real financials, a share count and a timetable exist. Anything published before an S-1 — including a price on a derivatives venue — is an estimate, not a valuation.
Be careful with "pre-IPO" share offers. Legitimate pre-IPO stock is generally restricted to employees, existing investors and accredited investors, and unsolicited offers to sell you shares in a private company are a common fraud pattern.
