How hard are the Series 7, 65, or 82 exams? Interested in those because I don’t see myself reaching accredited status via capital alone any time soon.

FYI, years ago I was borderline on accredited status but invested anyway. I’ve never been “checked” for accredited status. Point is you’ll have few or no protections if something goes south on an investment, and a company could allow unaccredited investors to rescind, so a company could be taking a risk and presumably could sue if you lied about it.
Most of my angel investments have not paid off, as to be expected for most startups. But some do hit so…

Thank you for the advice, but you didn’t answer my question.

I've taken all of them. None are really that hard, bit the 7 takes time to prepare for. But when I did it I was fresh out of school and didn't know shit about much of this stuff. Not that hard to pass though, I think you only need a 70%.

I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry.

I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

Looking to confirm or crush my expectation as part of a business model. Are M&A like technology assessments somewhat standardized for angel investors or do you start by independently evaluating specific platform, data, code, technical architecture issues? I’m assuming there are individuals who seek technology risks for value opportunities while others avoid such risks. Is it common to ignore technology choices or are there other options I’m missing?
