Investing in Startups with Your Self-Directed IRA

Crowdfunding platforms provide a new way for individuals to find, evaluate and purchase equity in private companies. In addition, companies seeking capital are turning to crowdfunding platforms for their fundraising needs, creating a vast pool of potential investment opportunities.

Fledgling tech companies and new startups are usually looking for investors like you to help finance their efforts. With an IRA Services self-directed retirement account, we make it easy to get the process started.

How It Works

Getting Started

Private equity investors turn to equity crowdfunding platforms to vet new startups. These types of platforms act as intermediaries between investors and private companies and startups.

The Process

Once you have found the investment you are looking for, IRA Services will oversee the execution of the investment to document that you are using qualified retirement funds to place the investment. Once the funds have been invested into the Crowdfunding company you will have control over how the funds are further used so you can fund the loans you want to participate in.

The Benefits

IRA Services Trust Company is here to work for you. We believe there is always a better and easier way to invest and we have delivered the complete investment experience through our new self-directed IRA management portal.
