What is an Accredited Investor?
For companies raising capital, the accredited investor definition largely determines who is in their pool of potential investors, and for investors whether they are eligible to invest in many early-stage companies. Many of the offering exemptions under the federal securities laws limit participation to accredited investors or contain restrictions on participation by non-accredited investors.
How can individuals qualify as accredited?
Individuals (i.e., natural persons) may qualify as accredited investors based on wealth and income thresholds, as well as other measures of financial sophistication.
