    The catch? Access.

    Until recently, top-tier venture deals were reserved for institutions and the ultra-wealthy. 2-and-20 fee structures, $1M minimums, and country club networks kept most accredited investors on the sidelines.

    Deal Box changes that. Direct access. No placement fees. No carried interest. Just verified 506(c) offerings and complete data rooms for your own due diligence.
