Thats for rich brothers i am not one so no
not really. Some may be as little as $100/minimum or 5500/minimum
you must be thinking of accredited investors where you must have $250K minimum in your account in order to invest. that's way different

Notwithstanding that dude was a big reason people bought into FTX.... it's kind of impressive at how many opportunities cats have to lose their money investing in shyt these days.
brehs want other people to tell them what to do with their money. they deserve 2 get got if thats how you living. sorry not sorry.
Only if it turns a profit.
you also have 48 hours while it’s in escrow to ask for a refund. If no action taken, then the money stays there until the company either goes bankrupt (worse case scenario), or makes a profit via acquisition, IPO or if you are allowed to sell shares on a secondary market.
The only startup I’ve invested in that looks like it can make some noise in a year or two is Graze (lawn mowers) and Quadrant Life Sciences (ADHD, concussions).
My main concern the longer these fundraisers go is share dilution. The company can continue to sell shares for cheaper to raise capital.
what is there 2 gain off investing $100 in some start up?
Same as investing in a penny stock that could shoot 50% or more.
The gain could be massive considering a low buy in. Super rare but it happens (I’ve made money with penny stocks off very low investments, though usually lost more than I gained; it’s like playing slots in a casino at the lowest denominator, &0.75 and winning $50 or so)
This is NOT similar but the initial investor for Subway restaurants gave $1000…dude is a billionaire now, along with he founder. Not the same as this was a friend who invested I the vision.
However, an early investor could make a realistic 100-1000% gain if the company is successful. Rare, but possible
yea I'm sorry breh but if I'm investing in a start up I need to have at least physically shaken your hand.
this shyt is for suckers to get scammed I didn't wanna say it from the jump but I don't want people to fall for it.
I would not say a scam as the info should be public.
Do you invest? Either in a 401K or via individual stocks (they are BOTH tied tot he market)? While most are NOT startups, many still are and companies go public when they want to raise more capital. Of course it can be a scam, but this is where due diligence comes in. Most startups, either in tech or otherwise first get funding from big bank or private investors and are not locally known.
But yea, if you ever get a bad feeling about it best to save your money and invest some of it elsewhere while pocketing the rest for a rainy day/season.
I can monitor stocks and a 401K. I can also pull out at the drop of a dime when I feel like it.
Its not even in the same ballpark.
apples to oranges.
