The notion that Socratech, a new company, is not "public" does not
preclude investing in it.  It just means that the way to invest is by
direct contact with the principles and negotiation of an investment
relationship, rather than the "public' method of stock purchase.  This
is the sort of thing we associate with venture capitalists.  But, hey,
anyone can do the venture capitalist thing.  Just form/call yourself a
VC company(or just skip this step and do a "private placement"),
gather up investors, and go for it.
