What Is an Accredited Investor?

An accredited investor is an individual or entity that meets specific financial criteria set by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rule 501 of Regulation D. These criteria allow accredited investors to participate in certain private investment opportunities, such as early-stage startups like Icebox by Rewired Consulting LLC.

Criteria for Individuals

You qualify as an accredited investor if you meet one of the following:

• Income: You have an annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 joint income with a spouse or partner) for the last two years, with the expectation of the same or higher income this year.
• Net Worth: You have a net worth exceeding $1,000,000, individually or jointly with a spouse or partner, excluding the value of your primary residence.
• Professional Credentials: You hold certain professional licenses (e.g., Series 7, 65, or 82) or are a knowledgeable employee of a private fund.

Why It Matters

The accredited investor designation ensures that only individuals or entities with sufficient financial resources and expertise can access high-risk investments, protecting both investors and companies like Rewired Consulting LLC. By confirming your status, you help us comply with SEC regulations.
