How Your IRA can Invest in Venture or Startups

Featuring Mat Sorensen, CEO of Directed IRA, and Ankur Nagpal, General Partner at USVC by AngelList Asset Management and founder of Carry.

Venture capital and startup investing have traditionally been difficult for individual investors to access. But the private markets are changing—and retirement accounts can provide another way for investors to participate.

On Monday, September 21, join Mat Sorensen of Directed IRA and Ankur Nagpal of USVC by AngelList for a live discussion on investing IRA dollars in venture capital, startups, and private companies.

Mat will explain how Self-Directed IRAs can access private-market investments and the rules investors need to understand, while Ankur will provide a venture investor’s perspective on the market and discuss how AngelList is working to broaden access to venture capital through USVC.

They’ll also discuss how investors should think about venture as part of a long-term portfolio and the potential advantages of holding high-growth private investments inside tax-advantaged retirement accounts.

Date: Monday, September 21stTime: 11:00 AM PT
