Risks, conflicts & accreditation
Private-market investments across venture, private equity, real estate, and private credit are illiquid and carry substantial risk of partial or total capital loss. Risk profiles, hold periods, and return characteristics vary materially by asset class: venture and private equity typically involve extended hold periods (often 7–10 years) with binary outcomes; real estate carries market, leverage, and property-specific risk; and private credit involves credit, default, and interest-rate risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and no returns are guaranteed in any asset class.
NAU founders and advisors invest alongside members in certain deals, which constitutes a conflict of interest. This conflict is mitigated by: (1) publishing all diligence uniformly to all members, (2) applying identical curation standards regardless of founder co-investment, and (3) transparent carry-structure documentation. Members must be accredited investors as defined under SEC Regulation D (minimum $200K annual income or $1M net worth, excluding primary residence).
