Why become an accredited investor?
Accredited investors get access to exclusive investment opportunities that are not available to the general public — including private placements, alternative assets, and early-stage ventures.
These opportunities often come with higher return potential, greater portfolio diversification, and access to emerging markets. The SEC allows these offerings only to those who meet certain income, net worth, or professional credentials — as a way to ensure investors have the financial sophistication to navigate higher-reward strategies.
Becoming accredited unlocks a new tier of investing — and applying through First Mover Fund makes it simple, fast, and free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Accredited investors are individuals or entities who meet certain financial thresholds — like annual income, net worth, or professional credentials — that qualify them to participate in investments not registered with the SEC.
The SEC requires accreditation for access to higher-risk private investments to ensure participants understand the risks involved. It’s a safeguard, but also a gateway to more powerful financial tools.
You may qualify if you meet one of the following:
-
Earn over $200,000 annually (or $300,000 with a spouse)
-
Have a net worth over $1 million (excluding your primary home)
-
Hold a Series 7, 65, or 82 financial license
-
Are a qualified entity, trust, or business with assets over $5M
Accredited investors can access private market opportunities — like hedge funds, venture capital, private equity, and alternative investment funds like land restoration funds — with high return potential and less market correlation.
Typically, accreditation is valid for up to 6 months. After that, you may need to renew based on updated financial documents or qualifications.
We’ve made renewal just as easy. If you're already accredited, you can use our secure portal to refresh your status without delays or added costs.
As of the latest estimates, there are over 13 million accredited investors in the U.S. — and the number continues to grow as more investors seek access to private opportunities.
