Investing in Rayton Solar?

[Gore1FL]

I found it hard to resist Bill Nye and bought some shares in this startup: http://www.raytonsolar.com/

I saw ads on Facebook which lead me to Bill Nye which lead to me opening my wallet. I don't expect to get rich from this investment, but I like betting on a green future.

Has anyone else done so? Anyone have positive or negative thoughts on this?

Did you read this?;

"There is currently no trading market for our Common Stock.
These are speculative securities. Investing in our Common Stock involves significant risks. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6."

If you have the appetite for such a risk, go for it. However, this is not even a "Pink Sheets" stock, this is a startup using crowdfunding. As it says in the quote above, there is no trading market for the shares, so if you wanted to sell, you'll have to try and sell back to the company or to another shareholder, and though I didn't read the entire offering circular, I found there is no provision requiring that the company buy back your shares, to wit;

(The last sentence is important)
"SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

My opinion? Only use money you can afford to set on fire.
