Startup investing is a high-risk pursuit by its nature - startups can succeed spectacularly or fail completely. You can't control that - but what you can control is your investment strategy. That's the one thing you should be confident is bang-on.

Or putting it another way, if you make your first investment at £5,000 and get 50% of that back (£2,500) as a tax rebate under the SEIS scheme (we'll explain this don't worry) in your first year, then consider this fee as coming out of that tax rebate.

Startups are what the 1% invest in, and it is a difficult gig to break into. But if you can get one-on-one access with the calibre of the people in this course, then you probably don't need the course. Otherwise, keep reading.
