Reasons why you should and should not invest through Republic.co

3 Reasons to Invest:

• You want to get exposure to investment considerations and terms. Republic.co has some very helpful information in understanding how initial investments can grow based off valuation caps.
• You aren’t an accredited investor and want to have an opportunity to invest in startups. Not everyone has a net worth of $1M or make $200,000 a year. Republic also caps the amount you can invest by yearly income so that you aren’t over exposed.
• You want to get exposed to different verticals. Republic.co shows you that startups aren’t all based in software or technology. You may even get inspired by people trying to innovate in spaces you’d never thought of.

3 Reasons not to Invest:

• You don’t want to take the risk. You may not have enough money to invest in alternative and speculative investments. There are more assured vehicles for return in investment. You also must be able to cast a wide net, with the right amount of capital to dilute risk, and have a decent return if one company takes off.
• You don’t want to research the company beyond the excellent research on republic.co’s site.
• You hate the exuberance around startups and alternative investments. Mainly because it’s irrational, and a sign of an economic bubble.
