Investor Requirements

To participate in any SSVP SPV investment, investors must first complete an SSVP membership application via DocuSign, which includes attesting to their accredited status through the Accredited Investor Questionnaire. This information enables SSVP to determine whether an individual is qualified to invest in SSVP SPVs and to receive due diligence materials on prospective portfolio companies.

Once a member has completed their due diligence on a given SPV LLC opportunity, they may request signing documents by emailing or texting one of the SSVP managing partners.

All signing documents are delivered securely through DocuSign, where members can also download final versions for recordkeeping purposes or to use when funding through a self-directed IRA custodian. While SSVP does not provide financial advice, we may offer informed opinions. For example, we often recommend prioritizing Roth IRA investments over Traditional IRAs. However, if a particular investment qualifies for the Qualified Small Business Stock Tax Exemption (QSBTE), the associated tax benefits may negate the need for Roth IRA funding. In such cases, it may be prudent to reserve Roth funds for investments that do not qualify for QSBTE. We encourage members to check with SSVP regarding QSBTE eligibility for any given opportunity.

Members will receive a Schedule K-1 for each SPV investment annually by March 15th or by the extended IRS deadline of September 15th. However, members should be aware that K-1s may occasionally be delayed due to factors outside SSVP’s control, and filing a personal tax extension may be necessary.

Investment funds may be submitted via wire transfer or by emailing an image of the check, per the instructions provided. We strongly discourage mailing checks through the U.S. Postal Service whenever avoidable.

Members typically receive quarterly or annual updates on their investments via email or recorded calls with the management teams of portfolio companies. The only formal records of your investment are the signed subscription documents and annual K-1s. Members who have made five or more SPV investments will gain access to an SSVP Investment Workbook, which includes a summary of allocations and unrealized return performance.
