FAQ
Short answers, each linking to the article that goes further.
Get started
What is the minimum investment?
It is set per deal, and the figure that applies is shown on that deal’s card in the app before you commit to anything. Minimums differ between deals because they follow the size of the allocation Axevil secured and the terms of the SPV, so no single number holds across the platform. How to subscribe to a deal walks through where it appears.
How long does accreditation take?
About five minutes in the app if you have your supporting document to hand. Review happens after you submit, and you are notified in the app when the status changes. How to complete investor accreditation lists what counts as evidence.
Do I have to be a US citizen?
No. What is required is accredited-investor status and residence in a jurisdiction where participation is permitted; citizenship on its own decides nothing. Axevil works with investors qualified under the US rules and under equivalent regimes elsewhere — see who can invest through Axevil.
Can I invest through a company or a trust?
Entities can qualify as accredited investors under the US rules, and the same checks then apply to the entity and to the people who control it. Whether a particular structure can be accepted depends on its jurisdiction and its documents, so ask the team before you start: contact us.
How it works
Am I buying shares in the company?
No — you hold an interest in the SPV, and the SPV holds the shares. Your economics follow the company, but the shareholder of record is the vehicle, which decides who votes, who signs and who is paid first. What an SPV is sets out what that changes.
Can I sell my interest before an IPO?
As a rule, no. Transfers of an SPV interest are restricted by the vehicle’s own documents and by the company’s transfer restrictions, and there is no exchange to sell on. Plan on a horizon of years and treat money you may need on a date as unsuitable — how an exit works.
What are the fees?
The structure is explained in fees and costs; the rates that apply to a given deal are in that SPV’s documents, which you read and sign before any money moves. They are not uniform across deals, so this page does not quote a number that would be wrong somewhere.
What happens if the company never goes public?
An acquisition or a secondary sale of the position can still produce a return, and neither is guaranteed either. A private company can also fail, and the whole investment can be lost. That is the base case to underwrite, not the exception — see how an exit works.
Why has the valuation of my position not moved in months?
Because it moves on events at the company — a priced round, a tender offer, a reported secondary trade — and not on a daily mark. Between events there is nothing new to price it against. How the valuation of a position is updated explains what counts as an event.
Does Axevil invest alongside its investors?
Yes. The team participates in the deals it underwrites, which is one of the reasons the list of companies is short rather than a catalogue. How deals are selected describes what a position has to clear before it is offered.
For wealth managers
What does it take to bring clients onto the platform?
A demo, a partner agreement, and accreditation of each client in the app. Applications from licensed advisers, wealth managers, private banks and family offices are reviewed individually. Start at how Axevil Pro works.
Does my client see their own positions?
Yes — the client sees their positions, valuations and documents in the app, and you see the same data across every mandate you run. How to onboard a client covers who signs what.
Research & data
Where do the valuations on company pages come from?
From priced rounds, reported secondary transactions, tender offers and, where relevant, 409A appraisals — each figure carries its source and its date. The four sources disagree by design; where private company valuations come from explains why.
Is a company page a recommendation to buy?
No. Market Intelligence is information — valuation history, funding rounds, dated sources and company news. It carries no price target, no forecast and no recommendation, and nothing on it should be read as investment advice.
Legal & compliance
Is Axevil a broker?
No. Axevil Capital, LLC operates as an investment adviser relying on an exemption from registration and has filed with the SEC as an Exempt Reporting Adviser (SEC file No. 802-126907; CRD No. 323970). It is not a broker-dealer and is not a member of FINRA or SIPC. The full statement is in the legal disclosures.
What tax will I pay?
That depends on your jurisdiction and your own circumstances. Axevil provides reporting at the SPV level so you or your adviser can file; it does not give tax advice. See KYC, AML and your data for what reporting is issued.
What happens to the documents I upload?
They are processed for identity, sanctions and source-of-funds checks, kept for as long as anti-money-laundering law requires, and handled under the Privacy Policy. You can request deletion at data deletion, subject to the retention the law imposes.
How do I reach a person?
Through contacts, or by writing to [email protected]. If a question keeps coming back to us we add it here, so telling us what was missing is useful.
