Investing in private company securities may not be suitable for all investors. Investments in private company securities are highly speculative and should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared for the possibility to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should conduct your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. There is no guarantee made that a company will undergo or experience an IPO or any liquidity event. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
