In order to invest in Bioverge Funds, investors must meet the criteria of being an accredited investor.
“Accredited investor” has been defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a test to determine who is eligible to participate in certain private capital market offerings. Generally an individual person is an accredited investor if they: (1) had an income of $200,000 over the last two years (or $300,000 jointly with a spouse or spousal equivalent) and reasonably expect to satisfy the same criteria in the current year, (2) have a net worth of over $1,000,000, either alone or together with a spouse or spousal equivalent (excluding the person’s primary residence) or (3) hold a Series 7, Series 82, or Series 65 financial services license and is in good standing. An individual must be an accredited investor to invest with Bioverge.
Yes, international investors can participate in Bioverge Funds. Our offerings are conducted under the SEC's Regulation D, Rule 506, which allows for participation from both domestic and international investors, provided that they are accredited and comply with the regulations of their respective jurisdictions.
In addition to qualifying as an individual, there are other categories of accredited investors which will satisfy the SEC’s definitions: (1) any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors, or (2) any trust, with total assets in excess of $5 million, not formed specifically to purchase the subject securities, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person, or (3) certain entity with total investments in excess of $5 million, not formed to specifically purchase the subject securities.
Bioverge Funds allow investors to access 15 or more companies via a single investment. Our Bioverge Deal-by-Deal products, by comparison, typically invest in a single deal/company. Diversification is a benefit of the Bioverge Funds, as investment risk may be spread across multiple assets. Additionally, investors in Bioverge Funds can access healthcare venture capital opportunities on a wider scale than they might otherwise be able to by making individual investments.
