Established in 2015, the 506 Investor Group is one of the original online investment communities exclusively for accredited investors. Our core mission remains focused on sharing deal flow and due diligence for private market investments. We maintain a clear operational standard: we do not harvest deal flow from other groups, engage in cold outreach to sponsors, accept unsolicited calls or emails from sponsors, or pursue high-minimum deals solely to create feeder funds with added fees. Critically, 100% of our deal flow originates from our members, with none sourced by the group's founder.

Our focus centers on private market investments, including real estate, private equity, venture capital, legal settlements, life settlements, royalties, and distressed debt. Our goal is simple — identify and research investments offering strong risk-adjusted returns alongside quality sponsors. We utilize a private, confidential forum to facilitate information sharing and organize user-generated content.

We leverage our group's significant buying power to negotiate improved terms and lower fees whenever possible. To date, our members have collectively invested over $3.5 billion in private market deals, with $1.26 billion placed in opportunities where the group successfully negotiated better terms. Additionally, members have invested over $100 million across deals sourced through five distinct private market sponsors discovered via the group.

While we emphasize collaboration within the group, each member retains full autonomy, making their own independent investment decisions. Our diverse membership, now exceeding 3500 individuals, includes professionals from various fields such as medicine, law, engineering, business, and full-time investing, spanning nearly every state and several countries. We operate on the principle that the collective 'wisdom of the crowd' helps uncover investments with the best risk-adjusted profiles for our members' portfolios.
