Why Verification Protects You
Verification isn't red tape. It's the filter that keeps The Network professional, compliant, and quiet.
When everyone in the room is verified, you're not wasting time with tire-kickers or unqualified investors. Issuers know they're speaking to serious capital. You know you're in a protected environment.
No noise. No spam. No grey-market solicitation. Just verified investors and issuer-direct materials.
Protects Your Time
Only qualified investors. No unverified noise.
Protects Your Reputation
You're in a compliant, professional environment.
Protects Issuers
They can publish knowing all viewers are qualified.

$1M+ Net Worth
Net worth exceeding $1 million (excluding your primary residence), calculated individually or with your spouse.
Professional Licenses
Active Series 7, 65, or 82 licenses, or other SEC-designated professional certifications.

Your Information Stays Yours
Deal Box does not store your financial documents. Verification happens through third-party providers who specialize in secure accreditation confirmation.
Your data is shared only with the verification provider and issuers you choose to engage with. No one else.
All transmissions are encrypted. All providers are SOC 2 compliant. Your privacy is non-negotiable.
What Happens After Verification
Once you're verified, you can:
- • Access issuer portals for 506(c) offerings hosted on Deal Box infrastructure
- • Review full offering documents, financials, and projections
- • Communicate directly with issuer teams through secure channels
- • Track your due diligence workflow in one organized place
- • Make investment decisions on your own timeline, with zero pressure
Your verification status typically lasts 90 days, after which you may need to re-verify depending on the method you chose.
