			==Risks==
			As with any investment, investing in Happity carries a level of risk. Overall, based on the key risks highlighted below, the degree of risk associated with an investment in Happity is higher than in a company that's trading on a public market.
			===Early-stage investment===
			Happity is at one of the earliest stages of the business lifecycle, and the failure rate of companies at that stage is usually much higher than those at a later stage.
			===Illiquid investment===
			The number of transactions in shares of private companies is usually significantly lower than in public companies, typically resulting in it taking longer to sell shares in private companies at a price that is at least equal to the price that the shares were bought at. Accordingly, the Happity investment opportunity is considered to be higher risk than more liquid companies.
