This website is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell any security. This website does not constitute a solicitation to buy any security in any jurisdiction where such solicitation would be unlawful. Investment opportunities available through Pass the Hat are speculative and involve substantial risk. You should not invest unless you can sustain the risk of loss of capital, including the risk of total loss of capital. Our efforts to vet investment opportunities may not reveal or highlight all relevant facts that are necessary or helpful and will not eliminate the substantial risk of loss from any investment opportunity. All investors should consider their individual factors and risk tolerance with a professional advisor of their choosing when deciding if an investment is appropriate. Private placements are illiquid investments, in that they cannot be easily sold or exchanged for cash, and are intended for investors who do not need a liquid investment.
