Investing in the Private Markets

I think there's something unamerican about telling people how they can and can't spend their money. I have always struggled, from a philosophical standpoint, with the idea that i'm arbitrarily telling certain people you have to be rich to get rich. Not every investment in the private markets is going to generate a positive return. You could lose all your money. So i think people need to go into any investing proposition with their eyes wide open and knowing that there are risks.
