Executive Summary

A Florida commercial real estate firm launched a $20M Reg-D 506(c) offering and needed to build a roster of accredited investors from scratch — fast. The 506(c) exemption allowed general solicitation but demanded verified accreditation, so the firm needed both reach and rigor.

Using GIGABOOST.AI's Verified Investor Database to source family offices and angels, an Intelligent Pipeline CRM to manage commitments, and a Secure Data Room to share confidential financials, the firm secured 38 new accredited LPs at an average ticket of $526,000 — and landed its first commitment within 48 hours of launch.

Key Results

The Challenge

The firm had strong commercial assets but a thin investor network outside its immediate circle. A $20M Reg-D 506(c) raise meant it needed dozens of accredited investors writing six-figure checks — and it had no existing list of family offices or angels with the appetite or accreditation to participate.

Reg-D 506(c) raises carry a specific friction: while general solicitation is permitted, every investor's accredited status must be verified, and sensitive deal financials can only be shared with the right parties. Emailing pitch decks and offering memoranda to unvetted contacts was both inefficient and a compliance hazard.

Manually tracking which prospects had reviewed the deal, signed NDAs, accessed financials, and soft-circled commitments across spreadsheets and inboxes was error-prone. With six-figure tickets on the line, the firm could not afford to lose track of a warm investor or fumble a document hand-off.

The Solution

The firm built its 506(c) raise on three GIGABOOST.AI modules. It started with the Verified Investor Database, filtering specifically for family offices and angel investors with a documented history of commercial real estate allocations and ticket sizes consistent with a $20M raise. This produced a qualified universe of accredited prospects instead of a cold, unvetted list.

Confidential materials — the offering memorandum, rent rolls, and underwriting model — were housed in the Secure Data Room. Rather than emailing sensitive financials, the firm granted controlled, trackable access to verified prospects only. This protected the deal's confidentiality, supported the 506(c) verification posture, and gave the firm visibility into exactly who was engaging with the numbers.

Every prospect moved through the Intelligent Pipeline CRM, purpose-built for fundraising rather than generic sales. The firm tracked each LP from first contact through NDA, data-room access, soft circle, and signed subscription. Because the CRM was structured around fundraising stages, the team always knew how much of the $20M was circled versus committed and which investors needed a nudge.

The combination of a pre-qualified investor universe, a secure document workflow, and a fundraising-native pipeline meant the firm could move quickly without sacrificing diligence — exactly what a 506(c) raise demands.

The Results

The firm's first investor commitment landed within 48 hours of launch — a signal that targeting verified, thesis-aligned family offices and angels produced immediate traction rather than a slow trickle of lukewarm interest.

Over the course of the raise, the firm secured 38 new accredited LPs at an average ticket size of $526,000, supporting the full $20M Reg-D 506(c) offering. Because the Secure Data Room tracked engagement, the team could see which prospects were deep in the financials and prioritize them, while the Intelligent Pipeline CRM ensured no warm investor slipped through the cracks.

The before-and-after was clear: a firm that started with effectively no accredited-investor roster ended the raise with 38 documented LPs, a secure and auditable document trail, and a repeatable system for the next offering.
