Hi Mike, StartEngine is a technology platform that allows everyday investors (accredited and non-accredited) to invest in early stage private companies. We do not make investment recommendations or predict a return on investment, and the company's SEC filings are linked to the campaign page for investors to review. Our business is in a highly regulated industry (by the SEC and FINRA as applicable, and certain other banking regulations). These investments are inherently illiquid (not traded on public exchanges), longer term, and high risk as is the nature of start-up investing. Please feel free to visit our Investor FAQ here https://www.startengine.com/investor-faq
