Equity investments may be attractive to non-accredited investors for many reasons. First, there is the potential for a solid return if the startup you’re investing in eventually has a successful IPO. Once the company goes public, you can then sell your equity shares and recover your initial investment, along with any profits. If you happen to luck out and invest in a startup that ends up being the next Google, the payoff could be huge.
