Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Private Placement via Subscription Agreement?
Private Placement via Subscription Agreement allows you to purchase shares privately and directly via Purism and upon receipt of funds become a shareholder and recorded into the capitalization table (captable) of Purism.
Am I an Accredited Investor?
For US Citizens, this is a good faith requirement, since there is no way for Purism to validate your accredited investor status, by investing you are stating you are an accredited investor that is defined as meeting any one of the following: earned income that exceeded $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse or spousal equivalent) in each of the prior two years, and reasonably expects the same for the current year; OR has a net worth over $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse or spousal equivalent (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence); OR holds in good standing a Series 7, 65 or 82 license; OR any trust, with total assets in excess of $5 million, not formed specifically to purchase the subject securities, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person; OR certain entity with total investments in excess of $5 million, not formed to specifically purchase the subject securities; OR any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors.
When do I get my return on investment?
This is considered middle stage investment, in a growth stage technology company, whereby you desire to invest early enough and see all the upside of holding that investment for quite awhile, returns may include valuation growth, dividend payments, IPO, stock buy-back, or acquisition. This process is typically measured in years, and should not be considered a short-term investment.
