THE FINE PRINT (DON’T SUE ME)

Disclaimer #1: I am not a financial adviser, or in any way shape or form, qualified to give you financial advice. I am not giving you financial advice.

Disclaimer #2: I am not currently affiliated with or making money from “The Startup Investor“. I have reached out to The Startup Investor to ask to promote them as an affiliate because I see a huge potential in this concept, and there are some pretty 

reputable people involved (Patel and Herjavec). At this time, I am putting this information out there for the people I care about, just because.

Disclaimer #3: These investments are purely speculative. If you don’t understand the investment term “speculative”, you should not be investing in this or any other non-mainstream investment strategy until you spend some quality time with Google. Essentially, when you think, “Speculative“, think “Only invest money that you can afford to lose“. So that you don’t end up living in a van down by the river, understand that this is not a hail Mary kind of play here.

THE FUN STUFF (GET EXCITED)

So now that we got all the disclaimers out of the way, let’s have a conversation that should get you excited; because, with high risk, also comes the opportunity for huge gains. I’m a firm believer in the 80/20 rule. And with that, I believe a healthy investment portfolio should include a “reasonable percentage” of speculative investments; however, what constitutes “reasonable”, will vary widely from person to person.

Have you ever wished you had been involved with some of these giants like Uber, Snapchat, or Google at IPO. Well you shouldn’t…. sort of. Where you should have really wanted to become involved with those giants would have been in their infancy (before they were giants). The most profitable place is, often, at the pre-IPO startup stage, along-side other angel investors trying to catch the greatest profits.

“PRE IPO” VERSUS “AT IPO” (Angel Investing 101)

So what is the difference and what’s the big deal about being an angel investor? Well, a common paradigm would be investing with a promising company (or good investment) at IPO, for a relatively low buy-in which might yield someone 300% or 400% return on a good outcome. On the other hand, being involved in a good investment at startup, might yield you a whopping 4,000%. Which would would you prefer, 1X or 10X?

An example would be Uber. Sure, one could have harnessed some good profits investing with Uber at IPO. But those profits would have been nothing, compared to what they could have been for an investment with Uber at startup. I.e., had you put just $50 in Uber, at startup as an angel investor, that same $50 would be worth $1.2 million today. Ok, It hasn’t escaped me that that number sounds absurd. Don’t kill the messenger. I’m just repeating what was said in the video by Robert or Neil. Angel investors get in at the very earliest stage that is both the riskiest but potentially the most profitable of all stages for a shareholder.

 WHY ISN’T EVERYONE DOING IT?

So the burning question is: “Why isn’t everyone doing it”? You see, in the past, you had to know someone or have an insider tip to get involved with the right startups. And to be honest, even if you knew someone, they probably wouldn’t care about your $50. They would, however, care about your $5,000 or $50,000, more likely. Well the internet and people like Robewrt Herjavec and Neil Patel are changing that paradigm.

Neil Patel and Robert Herjavec are launching “The Startup Investor“. This will allow you to become involved with these startups at their infancy, just like the traditionally deep pocketed angel investors. But you won’t have to spend $5,000 to get started investing. From what I can tell so far (and I only found out about this yesterday, 8/24/19, your investment in some of these pre-IPO startups can be as little as $50. Don’t quote me on this…. because like I said, this is as new to me as it is to you.

HOW TO GET STARTED

So you could start with an investment of only $50. But what if you have $500 or more to invest? Well, just like a mutual fund spreads out and diversifies your investment, “The Startup Investor” will also spread your investment out (if you choose to) amongst some of the most promising startups.

Here is a link to an introductory video. Warning, it is extremely long (54 minutes), but it is 100% worth a listen; and it could make you a millionaire. So watch it!

If you watch it long enough, there will be a “Join Now” button that should pop up; although on my computer, it never did. On mine, I had to refresh the page, and then I was able to see the button. If you lose patience, here is the link to take you to the page on how to get started.

And from the home page, you will find some other helpful links like “How to Spot a Billion-Dollar Idea” or “How You Can Invest In Startups (with $50)”.

Update (8/30/2019): I pulled the trigger and bought the $79 Diamond package last night. There was some confusion since it seems the Diamond and Platinum packages both list identical benefits; except, the Diamond package is at the top of the page and has a cheaper price. I’m assuming this is the best package. I’ve reached out to support to confirm.

I fell for the up-sell and accepted the “OTO (one time offer)” for $499 (lifetime upgrade). I could not afford the last “OTO” for $1,900, but, if this venture is successful, these OTO’s have a way of sometimes showing up a second time.

Is it a goldmine or sinkhole? Time will tell. There is copy on the site stating “limited time offer”. Sometimes this is a tactic, simply to create urgency; however, I think there could be enough demand for this product, that the early adopter “special” pricing may, indeed, only be for a limited time. 

At any rate, there is a 60 day money back guarantee and I’m pretty excited and giving this every chance it deserves.
