A Regulation D 506(c) offering is a private securities offering that allows companies to raise capital from accredited investors without registering with the SEC. Unlike Regulation CF, this offering is limited to accredited investors only.

An accredited investor is an individual with annual income over $200,000 (or $300,000 jointly with a spouse) for the past two years with expectation of the same, or a net worth exceeding $1,000,000 excluding their primary residence. Entities with assets over $5 million may also qualify.

Investing in a private company carries risk and returns are not guaranteed. Potential exit scenarios include an acquisition of the team, a public offering, or a buyback of shares by the company. These are long-term outcomes, typically 5–10+ years out.

Shares are typically issued once your investment funds clear and the offering closes. This generally takes a few weeks after your investment is processed.

Shares in a Reg D private offering are restricted securities and cannot be freely traded. Resale is subject to SEC restrictions — typically, you must hold shares for at least six months before any resale, and only under limited conditions (e.g., pursuant to Rule 144 or after registration). There is no active secondary market for these shares.
