The GIGABOOST.AI database contains 340,412+ investors. Every record is filterable by:

• Investment stage (pre-seed, seed, Series A–C, growth)
• Check size range (e.g., $25K–$500K angel, $1M–$25M institutional)
• Geography (US state, country, or global)
• Regulation type (Reg-D 506(b)/506(c), Reg-CF, Reg-A+, international)
• Thesis and sector keywords

The database is enriched continuously and synced weekly with SEC EDGAR Form D filings.

GIGABOOST.AI offers three plans:

• Quarterly — $7,000/quarter ($2,333/month effective). 500 AI credits/month, 3 active campaigns, 3 team seats.
• Annual — $20,000/year ($1,667/month effective). 500 AI credits/month, 3 active campaigns, 5 team seats.
• Custom — book a call. Built for broker-dealers and funds raising $100M+.

Every paid plan includes AI-matched investor profiles, multi-step outreach campaigns, AI pitch deck review across 8 VC-grade dimensions, and AI company valuation across 4 valuation methods. Cancel anytime in account settings — no fees.

GIGABOOST.AI is designed for:

• Founders raising between $500,000 and $50,000,000
• Issuers filing under Regulation D 506(b), 506(c), Regulation CF, or Regulation A+
• Fund managers raising a new fund vehicle
• Real estate syndicators and alternative asset issuers
• Capital formation advisors managing multiple client raises

When you create a raise profile, the AI evaluates every investor in the database against 25+ scoring signals, including:

• Thesis keyword overlap with your sector and business model
• Preferred investment stage vs. your current stage
• Check size range vs. your raise amount
• Geographic focus vs. your company's location
• Regulation type compatibility (506b, 506c, CF, A+)
• Recent portfolio activity and co-investment patterns

Investors are ranked from highest to lowest fit score. You see your top matches first, so every credit you spend targets the highest-probability prospects.

Thesis fit measures how closely an investor's stated mandate — sector focus, stage preference, business model type, and geography — aligns with your specific raise.

Thesis fit matters more than outreach volume: a cold email to a thesis-matched investor achieves a 22–34% open rate and an 8–12% reply rate, whereas a warm introduction to a wrong-fit investor converts at under 3% reply rate. Targeting the right 50 investors consistently outperforms blasting 5,000 mismatched contacts.

Yes. The investor database supports filtering by:

• Reg-D 506(b) — no general solicitation; up to 35 non-accredited investors allowed
• Reg-D 506(c) — general solicitation permitted; all investors must be verified accredited
• Reg-CF — raises up to $5M from accredited and non-accredited investors via registered intermediary
• Reg-A+ — raises up to $75M from the general public
• International equivalent structures

The SEC maintains the official framework for all U.S. securities exemptions.

Under SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, an individual qualifies as an accredited investor if they meet at least one of these criteria:

• Annual income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years (or $300,000 combined with a spouse or spousal equivalent), with a reasonable expectation of the same in the current year
• Net worth exceeding $1,000,000, excluding the value of the primary residence, either individually or with a spouse/spousal equivalent
• Certain professional certifications (Series 7, 65, or 82 license holders) or "knowledgeable employees" of private funds

Entities such as trusts, LLCs, and corporations may qualify separately. See the full definition at SEC.gov.

Investor records are enriched on a rolling basis. Specifically, GIGABOOST.AI syncs SEC EDGAR Form D filings on a weekly cadence. This means investors who have recently filed or participated in a new Reg-D private placement appear as active prospects in your targeting results, rather than stale records from years-old filings.

All outreach emails are sent through your own SMTP server and your own sending domain. GIGABOOST.AI does not use shared IP pools or shared sending domains. Because mail originates from your authenticated domain — with properly configured SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records — messages land in the recipient's primary inbox rather than spam or promotions folders.

Thesis-matched outreach sent through GIGABOOST.AI achieves an average open rate of 22–34% and a reply rate of 8–12%. For comparison, the industry benchmark for generic cold email to investor lists is 1–4% open rate and under 1% reply rate. The difference is driven by thesis-fit scoring, AI-personalized copy, and LinkedIn warming.

Both the Quarterly ($7,000/quarter) and Annual ($20,000/year) plans include 3 active campaigns at any time. Each campaign supports multi-step email sequences with configurable wait intervals. AI credits are consumed at 1 credit per investor scored; monthly credits reset each billing cycle, while purchased bundle credits stack and never expire.

Every email draft generated by the AI requires your explicit approval before it is sent. You review the personalized copy, edit if needed, and then approve the send. GIGABOOST.AI does not dispatch any outreach autonomously. You remain in full control of every communication that leaves your account.

LinkedIn warming is an AI-assisted pre-outreach sequence in which GIGABOOST.AI generates personalized comments, reactions, and connection request messages that you send to target investors on LinkedIn before your cold email sequence begins. Investors who have encountered your name on LinkedIn prior to receiving a cold email convert at approximately 4× the rate of pure cold outreach, because you shift from being an unknown sender to a recognizable contact.

GIGABOOST.AI is a software platform — it is not a registered broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, or funding portal. Issuers and capital raisers remain fully responsible for their own securities law compliance, including all obligations under Regulation D, Regulation CF, or Regulation A+ as administered by the SEC.

If you are conducting a Regulation D 506(c) offering involving general solicitation, you should consult a licensed securities attorney or work with a registered broker-dealer. You can verify broker-dealer and representative registrations on FINRA BrokerCheck.

Regulation D Rule 506(c) is an SEC exemption from full securities registration that permits issuers to engage in general solicitation and advertising when raising capital, provided that:

• All purchasers are verified accredited investors
• The issuer takes reasonable steps to verify accredited status (e.g., tax returns, bank statements, third-party verification letter)
• A Form D is filed with the SEC within 15 days of the first sale

There is no cap on the raise amount under 506(c). Recent Reg-D filings on EDGAR provide market context on active issuers.

Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) allows companies to raise up to $5,000,000 in a 12-month period from both accredited and non-accredited investors, provided the offering is conducted through an SEC-registered intermediary (a registered broker-dealer or an SEC-registered funding portal). Individual investment limits apply based on investor income and net worth. Issuers must file a Form C with the SEC before launching a Reg CF campaign.

Regulation A+ is an SEC exemption that permits companies to raise capital from the general public without a full registration statement. It has two tiers:

• Tier 1: raises up to $20,000,000 in a 12-month period; subject to state "Blue Sky" review
• Tier 2: raises up to $75,000,000 in a 12-month period; preempts state review but requires ongoing SEC reporting (annual, semi-annual, and current event reports)

Unlike Regulation D, Reg A+ offerings can be marketed broadly to non-accredited investors. See official rules at SEC.gov.

No broker-dealer registration is required to use the GIGABOOST.AI software. The platform is a technology tool, not a registered broker-dealer or investment adviser.

However, if you are conducting a securities offering — particularly a Regulation D 506(c) offering involving general solicitation of accredited investors — you should consult a licensed securities attorney or engage a registered broker-dealer to ensure compliance with applicable law. FINRA maintains a public registry of all registered broker-dealers and their representatives.

One credit equals one investor fully scored by the AI against your raise profile — covering thesis fit, stage alignment, check size range, geographic preference, and regulation type. Each score takes into account 25+ data signals per investor record.

Monthly credits included in your plan reset at the start of each billing cycle. Credits purchased in bundles stack on top of monthly credits and never expire.

Yes. GIGABOOST.AI pays $1,000 per successful referral. A referral is counted as successful when the person you referred completes their first payment of $7,000 (Quarterly) or $20,000 (Annual). The $1,000 bonus is paid 30 days after that payment clears, via Stripe Connect or Wise transfer. There is no cap on the number of referrals you can earn.
