I invested over 40K with RealtyShares and made over 7K. I will NOT be investing with them any further. Problem is that there is no transparency on the old deals, so you can't see which ones failed or (more likely) locked up your capita

I've participated in 5 ICOs. I don't recommend buying unless a) the company looks great (like filecoin or similar) and b) you get in at a substantial discount. What I'm seeing now is even good companies that trade below ICO p

Agree. Show me a time map for nearby draft beers with Beer Advocate or Ratebeer scores and I would use this all the time. Bonus points to restrict to certain styles like IPA, lagers, etc. Untappd could actually do this if they wanted.

As an investor, I wouldn't touch any of these companies: Postmates, Seamless, DoorDash, ChowNow. What a terrible category. UberEATS and Amazon PrimeNow will probably survive, but their parent companies can afford to run them at a loss
