Business ProfileforMicroVentures

I am going to submit a review because I have been a customer of MicroVenterus for 9 years and have found them nothing but trustworthy. In fact, I have invested in some of their managed funds as well as individual offerings. They are very open when you invest that your investments are not liquid (you can't get out once you get in) - this is after all investments before companies go public so you might even loose your entire investment if the company/offering you elect to invest in goes bankrupt or out of business, etc. They clearly have you acknowledge this before they take your money and the terms/fees are outlined in every offering listing. I don't think it is MicroVentures fault when a company goes belly up but it does get annoying when a company you invest it doesn't provide updates on their business, etc.. What I have found is that typically means trouble.. at the company you invested in not the MicroVentures business that helped link you to that company's offering. I have had a number of companies go public after investing here and MicroVentures does provide a nice summary of the distribution. They supply K-1s yearly so you can file taxes, etc. It can take years for a company to go public so yes, you are paying a management fee to wait (again, clearly outlined in the offering terms). However, often you will make money because you got in before the general public and usually at a lower cost. Patience is key, tracking and follow-up as well. I have a few other sites I invest in and this one is by far the best at managing expectations, providing *********************** as well as customer service. There are a few times, I have experienced the black-hole where you have no idea what is happening with an investment but that is really a lot less here at MicroVentures then at the other sites.
