What is Your Minimum Investment Size?

The minimum investment threshold is $50,000. 

How Are the Investments Structured?

Investors become part of a fund, structured as an LLC, which acquires shares or economic interests in a company's shares. Typically, the funds we offer are managed by a manager who creates a Series of Interests aimed at investing in specific companies. This includes buying securities from secondary markets or investing in entities with portfolios that align with the Fund's investment focus. Each Series is kept separate from others. 

Why Not Purchase Shares Directly from Shareholders?

Locating a verified shareholder willing to sell their equity is challenging. Our fund acquires large blocks of shares, making them accessible to our members at a reasonable cost. 

Do I Directly Own the Company's Stock?

No, your membership in an LLC grants you ownership of shares or rights to the financial benefits of the shares, not the shares themselves. 

How Are the Shares Valued?

Valuation is guided by the latest financing round and anticipated IPO range, among other factors such as investor demand, access to the company, and other secondary market activities. 

What Documentation Will I Receive as an Investor?

Investors typically sign a Subscription Agreement to join the fund, along with a W-9 (or W-8 BEN for international investors) and a Suitability form. Annually, a Schedule K-1 is provided to update investors on their investment. All documents are prepared with professional legal or accounting advice. 

Will I Receive Official Documents for My Investment?

Yes, you will receive a countersigned Subscription Document confirming your fund membership, along with a Welcome Letter detailing your investment series and breakdown. 

Can I Access the Company's Financials or Prospectus?

Our network does not have direct access to the company's latest financials or investor presentations. We rely on the due diligence of recent investors and base our offerings on their investment terms.

How Long Can I Retain My Shares?

After an IPO lockup period, the fund can transfer shares to your brokerage account, allowing you to hold or sell them as you see fit. The timeline for a company to go public or be acquired is not guaranteed, but typically ranges from 2-5 years.
