Thematic investing is exciting. Bold narratives about AI, clean energy, or space exploration promise fortunes. But here’s the reality: stories can outshine substance, liquidity can vanish when you need it most, and without a clear exit plan, entrepreneurs risk holding the bag when themes fade.
This book reveals the smarter path. In plain, actionable terms, you’ll learn how to separate hype from fundamentals, identify the hidden liquidity traps that can cripple your portfolio, and design exit strategies that protect gains while minimizing losses. More importantly, you’ll discover a practical system for sizing thematic bets intelligently—so you capture growth without putting your future at risk.
For entrepreneurs seeking exposure to the world’s boldest investment themes, The Hype Trap is your essential guide to navigating risks with clarity, discipline, and confidence. Stories may grab headlines, but systems build wealth—this book shows you how to stick with substance.
