Can I exit my investment early or sell my shares?

Currently, no – there is no secondary market on UOWN. Once you invest in a project, you should plan to hold that investment until the project's exit. You cannot sell or trade your shares to other investors on the platform at this time, and UOWN doesn't buy them back either.

We know liquidity (the ability to get your money out when you want) is a common concern. At the moment, UOWN's model is straightforward: your funds are committed for the duration of the project. You get them back (with any returns) at the end, but not before.

Key things to consider:

• Only invest money that you won't need in the short term. If there's any chance you'll need these funds for something else (buying a car, paying tuition, etc.), it might be safer not to invest them, since you can't easily pull them out once invested.

• We offer that 14-day cooling-off period after you invest. But beyond that, you're in it for the ride.

• We might introduce a secondary market or transfer facility in the future (many crowdfunding platforms explore this), but until an official feature is announced, assume you can't liquidate early.

• That said, in exceptional circumstances (e.g., hardship cases), reach out to us. While we can't make promises, we will try to work out a solution or explore if any transfer is possible. But again, that would be an ad-hoc process, not a standard offering.

So, treat UOWN investments as illiquid. The trade-off for the higher target returns is that your money is locked in. The lack of a secondary market also actually protects projects from short-term speculative trading and ensures the developer isn't distracted by investor churn – we all focus on the end goal.
