Most investors never see the deals that move serious capital. Not because they lack the curiosity or the conviction, but because they don't yet qualify for the tier of the market where those opportunities live. Becoming an accredited investor changes that.
Here's what it means, why it matters, and what accredited status opens for investors on Republic.

Why Accreditation Matters: The Regulatory Context
To understand what accreditation unlocks, it helps to understand how private investment offerings are structured under US securities law.
Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) allows companies to raise capital from the general public. Any investor, regardless of wealth or income can participate. To protect everyday investors, Reg CF comes with annual investment caps tied to an individual's income and net worth, and imposes limits on how much a company can raise.
Regulation D allows companies to raise capital from accredited investors. Because accredited investors are presumed to have a higher financial sophistication and cushion to absorb risk, Reg D removes the investment caps that apply under Reg CF and allows companies to raise significantly larger amounts. This approach powers large sums of capital formation. Reg D offerings allow accredited investors to participate in later-stage rounds, growth equity, tokenization of real world assets, and other deals that have typically been reserved for institutions and family offices.
Offerings on the platform beyond Reg CF are conducted through OpenDeal Broker LLC, a registered SEC broker-dealer and member of FINRA/SIPC, which hosts Reg D offerings alongside Regulation A+ and Regulation S offerings—for accredited investors. That infrastructure means you get the same deal access Republic is known for, applied to a substantially wider universe of opportunities.
What Opens Up on Republic
A Wider Range of Deals
Once you're verified as an accredited investor, you gain access to the full breadth of offerings on Republic. These deals often involve the opportunity to invest larger amounts, fewer restrictions on participation, and companies at later stages of development, subject to the suitability of each individual investor.
Secondary Offerings: Targeted Access to High-Demand Companies
For accredited investors, secondaries are one available option to gain exposure to specific high-demand companies that might otherwise require institutional relationships, large minimum commitments, or pre-existing early access. These tend to be blue chip companies that lead their industry within the private market.
Republic has opened access to late-stage companies including:
SpaceX, with opportunities to invest as early as 2020 up to a few months before the recent IPO
OpenAI, which just confidentially filed for an IPO at a proposed $1 trillion valuation*
Perplexity, whose annualized revenue recently reached $450 million in March 2026, a 50% jump in a single month**
What It Means to Be Accredited
In the US, you're generally considered an accredited investor if you meet one of the following criteria:
Income: You earned over $200,000 individually (or $300,000 jointly with a spouse) in each of the past two years, with a reasonable expectation of the same this year
Net worth: You hold a net worth above $1 million, excluding your primary residence
Professional credentials: You hold certain FINRA licenses or other qualifying credentials
Republic Ventures: Curated deals, a real-world thesis
Republic Ventures curates deals specifically for accredited, institutional, and family-office investors. They are shared exclusively through Lead Partner, Julian Jung, once the accreditation process is approved.
This service features detailed analysis of deals from the team with personal access to Julian. New opportunities are released approximately once per month depending on deal availability. The underlying thesis from the Lead Partner is straightforward: in a world where AI makes software cheap to copy, the most durable winners may be the ones tied to how things are made, moved, powered, and kept healthy.*
Execution-driven deep tech. Robotics, hardware-software integration, and applied AI embedded in physical processes that must run reliably at scale.
Rare earths and critical minerals: The future of national defense depends on accessible supply of these items with opportunities in the mining and processing sectors.
Health, wellness, consumer, and “medicine 3.0.” Devices, diagnostics, and platforms pushing care toward the continuous and preventive, plus better-for-you consumer health where formulation and sourcing create a real edge.
Industrial and supply-chain infrastructure. Materials, manufacturing, logistics, automation, and energy: the capital-intensive backbone of the modern economy.
A few portfolio companies illustrate the thesis:
Voice-AI tool Wispr, which is currently negotiating a funding round of roughly $260 million at a $2 billion valuation1
Optical-compute startup Neurophos, which raised $110 million in an oversubscribed Series A in January 20262
Rare-earth processor Phoenix Tailings was selected for a $66 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Rare Earth Demonstration Facility Program in June 20263
Autonomous delivery robots manufacturer Serve Robotics, whose reported revenue was up 578% YoY in Q1 20264*
Coconut Cult, a functional food company featuring the fastest growing non-dairy yogurt in the U.S.
Preventive-health platform Ezra was acquired by Function Health, and the combined company subsequently closed a $298 million Series B found valuing it at $2.5 billion5 6
