How do searchers get access to Axial?

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!
