Introducing: The Newest Revolution In Investing (And How It Could Make You Rich…)
A few weeks ago, I wrote about one of the most exciting revolutions to happen to investing in years. The new opportunity has to do with an asset class that has delivered out-sized returns for wealthy, elite investors while remaining off-limits to everyone else.
In short, if you’ve ever wished you could have invested in companies like Facebook and Twitter BEFORE they went public, then you’ll want to pay attention to what I have to say…

Your Personal Paycheck Plan |
Until May of this year, to invest in companies before they undergo an initial public offering (IPO), you had to be an “accredited” investor — that means a net worth of at least $1 million (excluding the value of your house), or an individual income of at least $200,000 a year ($300,00 combined). Now, thanks to the passage of Regulation CF (crowdfunding), ANY investor can get in on the ground floor of the hottest companies seeking funds to take their products and services to the next level.
What does that mean for you? It means you can now invest in the next Google, Facebook or LinkedIn at the same pre-IPO prices that elite, powerful investors and venture capitalists have been getting for years.
It means that while you may have missed the boat with the companies I mentioned above, you can invest in explosive new startups like Uber, Airbnb, Snapchat — or numerous other lesser-known companies most investors have never even heard of… Yet.

The Promise Of Pre-IPO Companies
So aside from the lifting of restrictions and the opportunity to get in early on the next “disruptors,” just what kind of possibilities are we talking about? Well, according to our findings, accredited investors have realized diversified returns of 26% a year from this type of early-stage investing. Trust me; you’d be hard-pressed to find this kind of growth potential anywhere else.
Don’t have millions to invest in these kinds of early-stage growth companies? No sweat. Thanks to what’s known as equity crowdfunding, it’s now possible to buy in (along with other smaller investors) for just a few hundred dollars or less. And even a small investment can turn into huge returns — a $500 investment in Facebook at this stage would have turned into $1.7 million (using Peter Thiel’s rate of return).
It’s for this reason that equity crowdfunding has the potential to completely change how we invest as well as the very idea of startup funding as we know it. I like to think of it as the new frontier of investing.
