[quote=Sarah G.]Invest or don’t invest. Personally, I don’t care. But utilize facts. Don’t make unsubstantiated generalizations and don’t mislead. If you question whether or not there is a personal guarantee and personal liability to Bartko, ask them or ask your attorney.
What should you do when you invest? Diversify.
There isn’t a right or wrong.
I can take either side and play devil’s advocate. But again, it doesn’t make this a good or bad investment. If, it is as presented, it might be a spectacular investment. Other than opinion here, there are no facts that are negative. Unless you invest, you won’t know if it is good and you won’t know if it is bad. If you have facts, knowledge and feel comfortable, invest or don’t invest. But make a decision based upon fact and knowledge not unsubstantiated opinion.
Lastly: Use your own opinion and especially utilize facts. If you are interested in the investment. Contact them. That’s the only way you’ll get “good” information and fact. You won’t learn anything here from posters that have opinion and no fact.

I think one of the issues here is the lack of supporting facts. Your advise seems to be “invest and hope”. You admit you can’t confirm it’s an “awesome” or “spectacular” investment until you put money at risk.
As others have pointed out – the business model seems very non-traditional for procurement for fortune 500 companies. I can’t speak to all fortune 500 companies – only the one I work for… this isn’t the way things are done here. That is a fact.
When NeetaT asked for documentation she was told they didn’t have any. (Read the OP.)
My point about the contractor was simple. You can enter a business arrangement (with starblaze, with a contractor, …) have clearly defined documents and have one side fail to perform and worse. You seem to suggest that if there are no complaints out there – you should assume the other party in the business arrangement is on the Up and Up. My experience shows this to be a bad assumption. Apples and bowling balls – it’s all business transactions.
