Funding Guide

— Your Investor Classification Result —

You Are a Sophisticated Investor. The Gap Is Qualification.

Level 03 · Sophisticated Investor

● Level 1 — Average North American

Level 2 — Retail Investor

Level 3 — Sophisticated

Level 4 — Accredited

Level 5 — Angel Investor

What This Means

You Have the Knowledge. Now Let's Find You the Right Deals.

Under SEC guidelines, a Sophisticated Investor is someone with sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of a private investment, regardless of their income or net worth. That distinction matters more than most people realize.

Under SEC Rule 506(b), a sponsor can include up to 35 non-accredited but sophisticated investors per offering alongside an unlimited number of Accredited Investors. This is not publicly advertised. It runs on existing relationships and trust. The deal flow exists. The access depends on being connected to the right sponsors.

You do not yet meet the SEC Rule 501 income or net worth thresholds for Accredited status, but you are already in a different category than the average retail investor. The next step is building the right relationships and continuing to grow your capital base toward the Accredited threshold.
