Hey everyone! I know Axial is seen as a great source of deals that don't tend to get surfaced elsewhere, but when I tried to sign up it says I need one of the following: - Annual income greater than $200K or joint household income greater than $300K (for the last 2 years) - Net worth greater than $1M (excluding your primary residence) Investing on behalf of an entity with at least $5M in assets or a business in which all the equity owners are accredited investors - Holding a FINRA Series 7, Series 65, or Series 82 license currently in good standing Can anyone share how they've navigated this as a self-funded searcher with equity gap investor backing? Thanks in advance!

This is a FINRA accreditation requirement because they also show private placements on that platform. You can click the income box.

Not sure why this is happening, we seamlessly access Axial for our searchers clients. We don't fall in any of those criteria that you have mentioned.
