Review these general guidelines for crowd investing
Risk note: while General Profit Investments company’s team diligently and carefully screens all startups, we do not give any investing advice or assume responsibility for your losses. It is your responsibility to pick the companies you believe in. "General Profit Investments" company does not and cannot recommend or endorse any company or offering. You should not invest unless you can afford to lose your entire investment—your investment won't be liquid or freely tradeable, so it is important to invest what you are comfortable losing.
Investing is risky and many investments are likely to lose value over time. While you can earn big, never invest more than you're comfortable losing and never expect future liquidity or the right to a return.
Invest for the long term Long term and Diversify
Set realistic expectations: there is no way to know how long an investment could take to become valuable or sellable. Spread your investments across multiple companies and asset classes to diversify financial risk.

- Review answers and questions, and participate in the discussion for each campaign you are interested in.
- Pay close attention to any disclosed dealings between the company and its investors, officers, directors, employees or founders.
Review the deal terms
Review the terms of each deal carefully, including rights associated with the offered securities. You generally will not have the same rights as earlier investors or accredited investors (including voting and information rights).
Understand your rights
As an investor in an offering, you will likely have fewer rights than other investors. For example, holders typically do not have any information or voting rights and Token DPA holders can never own part of the issuing company. Your rights may vary company to company and it’s important that you review and understand them before you invest.
While some startups succeed and can bring substantial upsides to investors, most will fail. Read about the financial risks. ust because a founder has had success with a prior company doesn't mean he or she will succeed with their current startup.
As a company raises money, the ownership interest of each past investor will be diluted. Crypto issuers may decide to mint or expand their token allocations. Be aware your stake may not be set.
