Imagine that you have the opportunity to invest in a startup with high potential but also high risk. How do you decide?

Select an answer:

First, I will thoroughly check the founders and the market, and if it makes sense, I will invest. I am investing only a small amount to minimize the loss if it doesn't work out. I will search for another investor who has experience with similar projects and consult with him. I do not invest; I would rather choose a more stable option. I will consider whether I am more attracted to the potential profit or deterred by the uncertainty, and I will decide accordingly.

If you had €50,000 to invest, what strategy would you choose?
