Can an investor choose only one company?

Yes; however, the most likely way to lose all of your investment in early-stage companies is to invest in just one or only a few companies.  All of the long-term research and performance data on venture and early-stage company investing, which includes skilled and experienced venture capital investors, indicates that investors who maintain a broader and more diversified exposure to venture capital are more likely to experience the superior long-term performance returns of the venture asset class.  With this in mind, iSelect has set a per-company investment minimum of $5,000, which is much lower than the investment minimums set by traditional venture capital funds (see DOES THE ISELECT FUND MITIGATE THE RISK OF FAILURE?).
