Early-stage investing used to be a closed door

For most of the last century, getting in before an IPO meant being a venture fund, an angel with the right connections, or wealthy enough to qualify as an accredited investor. Everyone else got their first chance on the day the stock started trading.

The JOBS Act of 2012 opened the door for private companies to raise money directly from the public.

Rules that followed, including Regulation Crowdfunding and the expanded Regulation A+, let companies sell shares to non-accredited investors as long as they file disclosure documents with the SEC. That's the market we cover.

Reg CF, Reg A+, and Reg D, explained

Every offering on this page uses one of three SEC exemptions. The type tells you who can invest, how much the company can raise, and what it has to disclose.

Reg CF

Regulation Crowdfunding

Built for early-stage companies. Raises are smaller and happen online through an SEC-registered funding portal or broker-dealer.

  • Who can investAnyone
  • Company raise cap$5M / 12 months
  • Investor limitsYes, if non-accredited
  • Key filingForm C
Reg A+

Regulation A+

Lets companies raise larger amounts from the public. The SEC reviews and qualifies the company's offering circular before shares can be sold.

  • Who can investAnyone
  • Company raise capTier 1: $20M · Tier 2: $75M
  • Investor limitsTier 2, if non-accredited
  • Key filingForm 1-A / Offering Circular
Reg D

Regulation D (Rule 506)

The traditional private placement. Under Rule 506(c), a company can advertise publicly but can only accept verified accredited investors.

  • Who can investAccredited (506(c))
  • Company raise capNo cap
  • Investor limitsNone
  • Key filingForm D

General summary only, not legal advice. Limits are set by the SEC and can change. See SEC.gov and Investor.gov for current rules.

Risks to understand before investing

  • Private company investments are speculative. You can lose everything you put in.
  • Most startups fail. Many never go public or get acquired.
  • Shares are usually illiquid and may be hard or impossible to sell for years.
  • Later funding rounds can dilute your ownership.
  • Only invest what you can afford to lose, and consider talking with a licensed financial professional.

Frequently asked questions

Is StartupHunter a broker-dealer or investment adviser?

No. We're a publisher. We don't offer or sell securities, hold funds, or give personal investment advice. Investments are made directly with the company or its registered intermediary.

Do I have to be accredited?

Not for Reg CF or Reg A+ offerings, which are open to the public. Non-accredited investors may have annual limits. Reg D 506(c) offerings are for verified accredited investors only.

How do companies end up on this page?

Companies pay StartupHunter to be featured, in cash on a cost-per-lead basis. See our compensation disclosure at the bottom of this page. That doesn't mean we endorse them, and the order they appear in is not a ranking or rating.

Where do the company descriptions come from?

From each company's own offering page and SEC filings. We don't add performance claims, projections, or our own opinions.

Will these companies IPO?

There's no guarantee. Some private companies eventually go public or are acquired, and many don't. Each company's offering documents list its specific risks.
