What is Regulation D 506(c)
Regulation D 506(c) is a new exemption that, like 506(b), allows startups to raise an unlimited amount of capital solely from accredited investors, with the main difference being these companies can advertise their raise to the public and raise it online.
The downside, however, is that startups/platforms using 506(c) must verify all investors are qualified to invest under this exemption (compared to 506(b) where investors may self-certify). The burden lies on investors to provide proof they are accredited via tax returns and bank statements. You can find a detailed version of 506(c) and a list of verification methods that issuers of 506(c) may use here.
