Investing in startups and early-stage businesses involves significant risks. Please read this warning carefully before investing on RaiseWise.us.
- Loss of capital. Most startups and early-stage businesses fail. You may lose all of the money you invest. Only invest money you can afford to lose.
- Illiquidity. Securities purchased through crowdfunding are generally subject to transfer restrictions and there may be no market to sell them. You should expect to hold your investment for a long period.
- Rarely dividends. Early-stage companies rarely pay dividends or interest, as profits are usually reinvested in the business.
- Dilution. Your shareholding may be diluted if the company issues new shares in later funding rounds.
- Limited information. Issuers provide less information than publicly listed companies. Read all offering documents carefully, including the issuer's disclosure documents.
- Diversification. You should spread your investments across several companies and keep crowdfunding investments as a small part of your overall portfolio.
- Investment limits. Investment limits may apply depending on your annual income and net worth, as required by applicable regulations.
