If they turn out okay
then yes it may be- for example if they're a new-start who've got huge outgoings as they kit themselves out and have a small customer base.

That way you'll have tonnes of shares that will be worth an increasing amount

If you can pull up historical data and they're older than a year or two, don't do it.

Edit: Wait, they spent $11M and only have $99k of assets worth to show for it? I'd steer clearer than I suggested earlier.
