Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become an Unreasonable Investor?
To become an Unreasonable Investor, you must meet the standards of an accredited investor as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the accreditation requirements stipulated in your region. Prior to joining our community as an investor or institutional investment firm, you will be required to complete certain representations and warranties relating to your accredited investor status. If you are interested, you can express your interest in joining our community.

What are the costs associated with investing with the Unreasonable syndicate?
Instead of charging ongoing fund-expenses, we do charge a one-time structuring fee that is exclusively used to cover the costs of hosting our special purpose vehicles ("SPVs") on carta.com. This fee is charged when you place your investment to cover the administration, legal, tax filing and structuring costs for all opportunities we present via our Syndicate. This one-time fee will vary based on the investment dollars that we raise in an SPV and will typically range between 1-2.5% of your committed investment amount.
