Who is an “accredited investor”?

An accredited investor, in the context of a natural person, includes anyone who:

• Earned income that exceeded $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse) in each of the prior two years, and reasonably expects the same for the current year, OR
• Has a liquid net worth over $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence).

Who funds KC companies and who gets funded?

See KCSourceLink’s Entrepreneur Dashboard – Capital to see why early-stage investment matters to companies, who funds these companies in Kansas City and how those investments have changed over the past several years.

If I am an accredited Investor, how can I learn more about investing in early-stage companies?
