Risk Factors
An investment through RegS platform will involve risks not associated with other investment alternatives. Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other factors, the risks described herein. These risk factors are not meant to be an exhaustive listing of all potential risks associated with an investment through RegS platform. There can be no assurance that the investment objectives will be achieved, or that there will be any return of capital. An investment through the EquityZen platform is a potentially suitable investment only for sophisticated investors who are capable of assuming the risks of such an investment, including the potential risk of losing all of their invested capital.
These risk factors are not a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in investing through the EquityZen platform. Prospective investors should consult with their own advisers prior to making any decision to invest through the EquityZen platform.
Investing in Technology Companies Through RegS
General
An EquityZen investment vehicle will be subject to numerous risks generally related to investing in securities and other investments, and the additional risks associated with investing in non-marketable securities and non-public companies. The securities or other interests acquired by an EquityZen investment vehicle will have restrictions on resale and, even in the absence of such restrictions, may not be marketable. The ability of an EquityZen investment vehicle to profit from its investments will be highly dependent upon the ability of its investments to generate income or appreciate in value. Numerous factors may impede or prevent an investment from reaching this point, including inadequate capital, unfavorable competitive developments, adverse legislation at the national, state, or local level, inadequate management or loss of key persons, technology obsolescence, and lack of market acceptance. Investments may face significant capital shortfalls for a wide variety of reasons. Resource development may prove more expensive, or take more time, than anticipated, and the growth in revenues may be slower than expected. Any of such occurrences may result in the failure of an investment and a loss with respect to the investment vehicle’s investments.
