Risks of investing

Many of the Securities listed on our Platform are speculative and involve significant risk, including the risk that you could lose some or all of your money. We’ve described some of the factors that make these investments risky in four ways:

• First, because many of the opportunities on our Platform will be in the real estate sector, we’ll describe risks common to that industry.
• Second, because many of the opportunities on our Platform will be in startup or early-stage companies, we’ll describe risks common to those companies.
• Third, we’ll describe risks common to many of the companies on the Platform, not covered in the real estate or startup categories.
• Fourth, we’ll describe risks associated with particular kinds of securities (e.g., debt securities or equity securities).
• Fifth, when you review a particular investment opportunity, the Issuer will also provide a list of risks specific to that opportunity.

Since the JOBS Act was passed in 2012, funding opportunities for private companies have improved, especially with the allowance of not-accredited investors opening up a previously untapped pool of prospective investors. Additionally, the secon...more

We celebrated the date with the launch of our Podcast, KoreTalkX, recently mentioned by Spotify as in the top 10% of the most shared shows globally. But the regulations that brought a lot of novelties to the capital raising process still face some misconceptions, especially regarding Crowdfunding. We are introducing Online Capital Formation and why you have to understand it.

We do write a lot about the democratization of capital because we believe that everyone should be able to participate and share in the benefits, whether as entrepreneurs, brand advocates, innovators, or investors (both accredited and non-accredited).

In the past week, the public release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, an artificial intelligent "bot" has garnered a lot of press and attention.
