As a small investor you can provide funds that are needed to grow the Protégé Companies out to their full potential, but you also have some problems that we recognise.
Historically it has always been hard for small investors to gain access to the projects that offer the highest returns, because the amount that you can put in does not reach the threshold required for investment.
In addition those that do have access to these investment opportunities tend to monopolise them and leave little space for small investors. This has led to excluding the smaller investors from the best investments and reinforcing the status-quo of the process.
We recognise that as a challenge and step up to it.
As a small investor, you invariably have a small voice in what goes on, but there are a lot of you, so your investment capacity is substantial, this should actually give you collectively a much larger voice at the table.

Investment is complex. There are many factors to take into consideration and the whole process can be bound up in red tape making the investment process even harder to navigate.
As a small investor you may or may not have the knowledge and the time to go through all of the detail and you frequently do not get to see the full picture, because it is not shown to you.
We recognise that as a challenge and step up to it.
The investment space for small investors particularly, is full of at best dubious, at worst fraudulent, schemes and abounds with projects with more affinity to the FRP game Dungeons & Dragons than to reality.
Where things are explained and laid out they abound in 'techno-babble' and small print exceptions.
Why should we trust anyone on this space?
We recognise that as a challenge and step up to it.
