WANT TO BUY STOCK PRE-IPO?
You can invest in companies like Ripple Labs, Dapper Labs and Uphold before they go public and sell their stock on stock exchanges.
You’re buying in early, and hopefully at a lower price than their IPO price, when they debut on the stock market.
It is possible to invest in private companies, but to do so you are required by law to qualify as an Accredited Investor (AI) before being able to invest, because there are liquidity restrictions, so it is considered higher risk than publicly traded securities. (After the company goes public, you can sell your shares).
To become an AI, you need to have $1 million of assets, beyond your primary residence, OR $200k of income for 2 years as an individual, OR $300k as a couple, OR you can also qualify by having your banker, broker, lawyer or accountant write a letter verifying your net worth, OR if you are a registered Series 7, 65, 82 financial representative. If you meet any ONE of those ways, you qualify as an AI and can invest!
The minimum investment size is $10,000 and international investors are welcome.
Assets that qualify you as an AI can be real estate (other than your home), a business, retirement plans, cryptocurrency, a rare collection, other valuable assets or a combination of items.
In addition, for the month of May 2022, you can get a $250 investment credit toward your first investment AND if you invest in Ripple Labs you will receive a bonus of $1,000 in XRP toward your first investment AND $500 in XRP toward a non-Ripple investment, but only if you invest before the end of May.

It is an exciting way to invest and be an early bird in tomorrow’s mega-growth companies!

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Linda P. Jones, author of two books and host of the Be Wealthy and Smart Podcast. |
| 0:06.0 | Today I want to talk to you about how to become an accredited investor and buy stock, |
| 0:11.0 | because so many people are asking me questions about how do you do it and |
| 0:14.8 | there's a lot of interest particularly by XRP investors who are interested in obtaining |
| 0:21.1 | RIPL Lab stock. |
| 0:22.6 | So today I'm going to answer, |
| 0:24.0 | how do you become an accredited investor |
| 0:26.2 | and how do you buy the stock? |
| 0:27.7 | First of all, regulations require |
| 0:30.1 | that you are an accredited investor |
| 0:32.3 | in order to invest in private companies. |
| 0:35.0 | These are companies that are not yet sold on the stock market, but plan to have an initial |
| 0:39.6 | public offering and sell their shares on the stock exchange in the future. |
| 0:43.8 | The reason for these regulations is it's considered to be a more risky investment and |
| 0:50.4 | because of the lack of liquidity of being able to sell your shares at this time, |
| 0:55.0 | that's why they're requiring a higher net worth for people. |
| 0:59.0 | So what actually are they requiring of you? |
| 1:01.0 | They're requiring a net worth of a million dollars outside of your primary |
| 1:06.4 | residence. That's for all of your other assets. You can add anything of value, |
| 1:11.4 | whether it's other real estate, |
| 1:13.3 | cryptocurrency, retirement accounts, rental houses or properties |
| 1:17.9 | or apartment buildings, businesses, rare collections. |
