Has anyone had any experience with the new oregon crowdfunding program. In the past month Ive been approached by 2 dispensaries and a farm with offerings.

Though I guess the idea is that 10 $2500 investments are less likely to lose your savings than a single $25k investment.
Anyway I was just curious what anyone else who had looked at one of these deals thought.
