*These experiences are exceptional and are not reflective of what an average customer may encounter using our program. We do not track and customers are not required to report what their experience is. Therefore, because we do not have data reflective of the average customer experience you should assume the average is ZERO and that typical customers are not able to raise any money for their fund using our program. You should not rely on these experiences to suggest what outcome you may have using our program. Further, raising capital through a fund is a method to finance your business aspirations. Raising capital does not mean your business will be successful or profitable.

Who is Black Card for?

Black Card is for the investor who want to play bigger. It's for the syndicator who is missing out on deals. It's for the trader who wants to take on outside capital. It's for the business owner who wants to buy out their competitors. It's for the entrepreneur who wants to acquire businesses. It's for the untraditional investor who wasn't born with a "silver spoon" in their mouth. The investor who didn't go to an IVY League or work on Wall Street for 20 years. If you want to play this game at a higher level, Black Card is for you.

What events are exclusive for Black Card?

We host 3 events for Black Card every year with monthly meet ups in various cities across the United States. We host an exotic style event in the Fall and 2 workshop style events in the winter and spring.
