Step 1
Sign Up / Log In - When you get to the portal, you have the option to Sign Up or Log In. Existing users can move ahead and Log In, but if this is your first time to the portal, you will need to sign up with a new account.
Create an Account - First time visitors to the portal will most likely need to create a new account. Keep in mind that passwords need to be at least 8 characters, and you will need to agree to the Terms of Use & Privacy Policy.
You will need to create a basic profile to access most projects, requiring basic personal information such as your address and phone number. This information is stored on our secure Amazon Web Services-based platform.
Step 2
Click on Invest - You can choose to invest as an individual, or invest on behalf of an entity (such as a trust). You may be asked to provide information such as a Tax ID number, articles of incorporation, or an operating agreement to verify you are eligible to sign on behalf of this entity.
Step 3
Enter Amount - Enter the amount of the investment. Use the slider bar to determine how much you will invest in the project.
Step 4
Account Information - You then choose between two payment methods. 1) ACH - have a blank check on hand or the account and routing numbers, or 2) Wire payment, which will require additional banking information. Here you will fill in your Account Number, Routing Number, Name on the Account, Checking or Savings, and then Personal or Business for check types. Note, maximum investment limit using ACH is $100,000.
Step 5
Review and Sign Documents - You will be directed to DocuSign to review and sign the Subscription Agreement.

Step 7
Signed Subscription Agreement Email - You will receive an email once the Subscription Agreement is countersigned and the offering is closed.
Step 8
