Sell Lemons Investors Guide

Investors are the bridge between rebirth, powers, UFO Key rewards, and Evolution. The key question is whether your current route gives the normal 1% investor bonus or the upgraded 2% UFO-related bonus described by public guides.

Core mechanic

Investors come from rebirth and Joe the Alien

The Fandom Investors page describes Alien Investors as a rebirth resource tied to Joe the Alien or the rebirth side-panel button. Public guides also describe Investors as the spending currency for powers and as the total that unlocks Evolution later.

Item to verify	Source-backed note	Screenshot target
Joe the Alien	Joe is the NPC associated with rebirth and Investors.	Capture the NPC and the rebirth prompt in one frame if possible.
1% bonus	FandomWire and rebirth guides describe a standard cash increase per Investor.	Capture the line that shows the bonus in your current UI.
2% bonus	UFO Key guides describe a secret alien reward path that can improve the investor bonus.	Capture before and after the UFO Key route so the page can prove the change.
Powers spending	Games.gg, TechWiser, and Beebom describe powers as Investor-funded upgrades.	Capture the powers menu with current Investor count visible.
Evolution total	Evolution sources describe a total Investor threshold for the Void Portal.	Capture the Void Portal or Evolution menu when it unlocks.

Route logic

Why the UFO Key matters before heavy Investor grinding

If the UFO Key route doubles the per-Investor benefit in the current patch, then a player who grinds without checking the UFO route may move slower than necessary. This is why the site links Investors back to the UFO Key page instead of treating Investors as a standalone topic.

Before UFO

Document the normal bonus

Record the Investor count and 1% line before trying to unlock the hidden alien route.

After UFO

Check for the 2% change

After using the UFO Key path, record whether the game shows a changed Investor bonus or new reward text.

After proof

Update the route table

Once verified, replace cautious source notes with exact prompt text and owned screenshots.

Practical order

Investor route for a player

Record how many Investors the rebirth menu offers before pressing reset.
Check the UFO Key guide before a long Investor grind.
Spend early Investors on powers that speed up the next loop.
