Invest in what you believe in

 

Sure, you can invest in companies you think are cool on the stock market, but what about investing in something BEFORE everyone else thinks it's cool? Private markets are filled with up-and-coming companies with big goals and visions and they need investors who also believe in these ideas.

 

Due to the uber-selective nature of venture capital, this means great ideas get passed on funding all the time. Now, you, as the consumer and investor, have a say in what ideas should get funding—plus, you get a piece of the pie!

 

Potential ROI

When you invest in private markets, you are getting in at a company’s earliest stages. You’re getting shares for the best price possible, so if the time comes when you’re able to sell, you’ll get the biggest return possible. This potential high reward does come with high risks, as you might not be able to sell your shares at all, so make sure you never invest outside of your means.

 

Call yourself a co-owner

How many people can say they’re invested in a startup? With companies ranging from technology and clean energy to consumer packaged goods and sports clubs, when you invest in private markets you get the chance to say, “Hey, I’m an investor in that!” when you see your investment in the wild.
