So I have read numerous negative reviews here regarding Miso. Many voice that they have not received any return, etc. So first, I am not affiliated with the company outside of being an investor. But I would like to provide a brief explaination here that hopefully will help some to understand.
This is a startup. They are not a public company so of course Schwab and other brokers will not have a listing. Likewise, as a startup, Miso is using the funds raised in R&D and their operational expenses, which includes rent, salaries, utilities, marketing, etc. It will likely be some time, perhaps several years, before they do go public. And the timing of any individual public offering (IPO) is based not only on their operations, but also the market. For example, even if their operations say in 3 years is going gangbusters, but the market has collapsed, it would likely be unwise to initiate an IPO.
So any investment into a startup must be predicated on wishing to be a part of and having faith in the technology, plus understanding there will be no return on your investment for several years, and recognizing that you are risking your investment in a new venture with little to no track record. So the key here, is wanting to invest in potential. Not a proven activity. That is arisk. For those that do not understand those basics, it is not an appropriate investment. And Miso makes that clear in their offering.
So there are numerous related discussions one may have around these basic topics, and I am not attempting to answer all of them. But I hope this clears up some of the basic issues.
Thank you and good luck.
