Accredited Investor Lists and Databases Can Help Raise Capital Fast

Accredited Investor lists and databases can help raise capital fast. If you’re a business owner seeking expansion capital or a startup company seeking seed capital, the last place you are going to look, in this economy, is the institutional lending industry. Many people are finding success with raising capital from accredited investors.

An accredited investor is defined best in this wiki definition: Accredited investor is a term defined by various securities laws that delineates investors permitted to invest in certain types of higher risk investments, limited partnerships, hedge funds, and angel investor networks. The term generally includes wealthy individuals and organizations such as a corporation, endowment, or retirement plans.

In the United States, for an individual to be considered an accredited investor, they must have a net worth of at least one million US dollars or have made at least $200,000 each year for the last two years ($300,000 with his or her spouse if married) and have the expectation to make the same amount this year.” This rule came into effect in 1933 by way of the Securities Act of 1933. The best place to find accredited investors are via online investor and venture capital databases.

DO NOT buy lists of accredited investors through list companies as they will almost certainly prove to be trampled more times than baby food. Either the lists have been sold to death and the investor no longer takes calls about investment opportunities or the contact information is no longer valid. Regardless, the best places to find these investors is on databases that specialize in venture capital and global alternative funding sources. Alternative funding is the one place that entrepreneurs can still find debt and equity financing for their venture.
