Accredited Investor
Definición
An accredited investor is a person or entity that meets financial thresholds set by securities regulators (in the US: income above $200K, or $300K jointly, or net worth above $1M excluding primary residence) and may therefore invest in private securities like startup equity.
Cómo aparece en el fundraising
Most startup fundraising exemptions in the US assume accredited investors, which is why angel checks come predominantly from wealthy individuals.
