You incur expenses when purchasing, more fees when selling, and face additional charges just to have the option to sell. If the Pre-IPO goes public, the risk of losing your investment is significant. While the company does state that they do not promise any profits, I wish I had heeded that warning. Comparing my stock market investments to this service, I see that my $25,000 would have nearly tripled in the market. In the traditional stock market, my $10,000 has grown to almost $50,000 without extra investments, while my nearly $30,000 with this service has barely exceeded $25,000—resulting in a loss of nearly all my investment due to a company folding (RXNOW sold its assets and closed down). The only party benefiting seems to be the service, which charges a fee to buy, a fee to sell, and mandates an annual membership of nearly $300 just to enable selling (previously free, now a strategy to retain users). My experience has shown no real gains for investors. If I could withdraw all my funds, I would. Currently, I face the choice of either paying the company for the chance to list my shares with no assurance of a sale, incurring additional seller fees even if I sell at a loss, or simply ceasing to invest and hoping for future returns—which hasn’t materialized in my years with this service. If the company made selling free, I would liquidate and move on, and I believe many other investors would too, which explains the difficulty in selling shares and the numerous fees involved. For investors, it feels reminiscent of a scenario where losing money is almost a certainty.
Investing in a Black-owned company has been a blessing, especially since it was within my reach. However, I found the online instructions insufficient for my needs. Navigating the steps to complete the process was challenging. I believe I would have succeeded if I had someone to guide me. I stuck with it because giving up isn't in my nature, but many people I know are not as persistent. I think there would be more casual investors if there were representatives to assist throughout the process. Most of my peers are between 70-82, and I'm 81 myself. Despite the stress, this opportunity has been a true blessing. To anyone reading my review, seize this investment opportunity and don’t look back.
I invested through a crowdfunding platform in mid-2025, and a significant amount was deducted from my account. However, the funds seem to have disappeared. I have reached out to their support multiple times and filled out their contact form repeatedly, even posting on social media and filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Unfortunately, I have received no responses. My attempts to connect have left me feeling hopeless, and I just want my money back.
There are numerous complaints about the service. It feels somewhat like a scam. I invested a significant amount on a specific date and have repeatedly tried to withdraw my funds. They aren't generating any interest, and my attempts to contact them have yielded the same response: If I want to sell my shares, I must list them on the marketplace when trading is available, but trading is never available. They don't allow trading of this stock, effectively holding my money hostage.
