IN THE MATTER OF THE SECURITIES LEGISLATION OF ONTARIO (the "Jurisdiction") AND IN THE MATTER OF THE PROCESS FOR EXEMPTIVE RELIEF APPLICATIONS IN MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS AND IN THE MATTER OF ANGELLIST HOLDINGS, LLC ("AngelList") AND ANGELLIST ADVISORS, LLC ("ALA", collectively with AngelList, the "Filers")

DECISION

Background

The Filers operate an online platform that offers a number of services to start-up businesses that operate primarily in the technology sector (Start-ups), including services to facilitate venture capital and angel investing in Start-ups that meet certain criteria. Each investor on the platform must qualify as an accredited investor (as defined in Canadian securities legislation) (Accredited Investor) and must also have prior experience in venture capital and angel investing, such that they have an understanding of the risks of investing in Start-ups through the platform.

ALA is currently registered in all Canadian provinces as a restricted dealer. The Filers previously applied for and received exemptive relief from the prospectus requirement in decisions of the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) as principal regulator (the Prior Prospectus Decisions) and from certain registrant obligations in decisions of the Director (the Prior Registration Decisions) dated March 27, 2017, June 14, 2018, March 26, 2019 and March 25, 2021 (together, the Prior CSA Decisions) under the securities legislation of the jurisdiction of the principal regulator (the Legislation). The Prior CSA Decisions were granted in the context of the CSA Regulatory Sandbox initiative (as defined in paragraph 4(d)) and were made on a time-limited, test case basis, based on the unique facts and circumstances of the Filers. ALA first became registered in Ontario as a restricted dealer on October 24, 2016 and at the same time obtained exemptive relief in Ontario from certain registration obligations (theInitial Ontario decision).

The Filers have applied to amend the Prior CSA Decision dated March 25, 2021 in order to enable the continued availability of certain services on their online platform to Canadian investors, subject to certain conditions. This decision (the Decision) has also been considered in the context of the CSA Regulatory Sandbox initiative and is made on a time-limited, test case basis. This Decision is based on the unique facts and circumstances of the Filers.

Relief from registrant obligations

1. The Filers have applied for exemptive relief pursuant to section 15.1 of National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations (NI 31-103) for ALA from the following:

(a) the requirement in subparagraph 13.2(2)(c)(i) [Know-your-client] of NI 31-103 that a registrant must take reasonable steps to ensure that it has sufficient information regarding the client's investment needs and objectives;

(b) the requirement in section 13.3 [Suitability] of NI 31-103 that a registrant must take reasonable steps to ensure that, before it makes a recommendation to or accepts an instruction from a client to buy or sell a security, the purchase or sale is suitable for the client;

(c) the requirement in section 13.16 of NI 31-103 [dispute resolution service] that a registered firm have a certain dispute resolution service provider; and

(d) the requirement to deliver the disclosure and reporting requirements in paragraphs 14.2(2)(i), (j), and (k) [Relationship Disclosure Information] and Division 5 [Reporting to clients] of Part 14 of NI 31-103 (together with the preceding paragraphs, referred to as the Registrant Obligations Relief Sought),

provided that ALA ensures only Quality Investors (as defined in paragraph 4(i)) access the Restricted Services (as described in paragraph 21).

Prospectus Relief

2. ALA has applied for an exemption from the prospectus requirement in connection with distributions by an SPE (as defined in paragraph 35) or microfunds (as defined in paragraph 4(h)) to Quality Investors who acquire securities of SPEs or microfunds through the platform (as described in this Decision) (the Prospectus Relief Sought).

Repeal and replacement of prior CSA decision

3. The Filers have applied to repeal the Prior CSA Decision dated March 25, 2021 effective as of the date of this Decision (the Repeal and Replacement Relief Sought).

The principal regulator in the Jurisdiction has received an application from the Filers for a decision under the Legislation for the Registrant Obligations Relief Sought, the Prospectus Relief Sought and the Repeal and Replacement Relief Sought.

Under the Process for Exemptive Relief Applications in Multiple Jurisdictions (for a passport application):

(a) the OSC (Principal Regulator) is the principal regulator for this application; and

(b) the Filers have provided notice that subsection 4.7(1) of Multilateral Instrument 11-102 Passport System (MI 11-102) is intended to be relied upon in each of the other provinces of Canada.

Representations

This Decision is based on the following facts represented by the Filers:

The Filers

6. ALA is registered as a restricted dealer in each of the provinces of Canada.

7. ALA is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the state of Delaware. ALA is a subsidiary of AngelList, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the state of Delaware. A minority interest in ALA is held by AngelList EI, LLC (which is wholly-owned by employees of ALA or ALA's affiliates). The head offices of the Filers are in San Francisco, California, United States of America.

8. ALA is an "exempt reporting adviser" in the U.S. ALA relies on an exemption from SEC investment adviser registration requirements under sections 203(l) [venture capital fund adviser exemption] of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and related rules. As an exempt reporting adviser, ALA is subject to oversight by the SEC, including the requirement to pay fees to the SEC, to report annually certain information to the SEC and to have policies regarding the dissemination of material, non-public information and anti-fraud measures. ALA is also subject to review by the SEC.

9. The Filers are not registered as broker-dealers with the SEC under U.S. federal securities laws. The Filers rely on a no action letter issued to them by the SEC dated March 28, 2013 regarding the scope of their permitted activities in the U.S. without registering as broker-dealers in accordance with section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Filers also rely on the no action letter issued to FundersClub Inc. and FundersClub Management LLC by the SEC dated March 26, 2013 with respect to their activities as an exempt reporting adviser. The Filers also rely on section 201(c) of the JOBS Act.

10. AngelList Ltd., an affiliate of the Filers, is authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority to carry on the following limited regulated activities in the United Kingdom: arranging (bringing about) deals in investments, dealing in investments as agent, and making arrangements with a view to transactions in investments.

11. AngelList India, LLP, an affiliate of the Filers, sponsors an alternative investment fund registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India to carry out venture investing activities on the Platform in India.

12. The Filers offer certain of the services (as described below) to issuers and investors in Canada. As these services involve the facilitation of trades in securities of issuers to Quality Investors for the purposes of venture capital and angel investing, ALA is registered as a restricted dealer in each of the provinces of Canada.

13. The Filers are seeking the Prospectus Relief Sought and the Registrant Obligations Relief Sought to allow Quality Investors and issuers resident in the Canadian provinces to access the Restricted Services (as defined in paragraph 21).

14. The Filers are not in default of securities legislation in any jurisdiction of Canada. The Filers are in compliance in all material respects with U.S. and U.K. securities laws.

Services

Public Services

15. AngelList operates an online networking website (the Platform) that allows start-ups, accelerators, incubators, angel investors and other individuals in the start-up sector (together, the Participants) to connect with each other and to raise their profile in the start-up community. The Platform is primarily aimed at technology or technology-enabled Start-ups.

16. Any Participant can post a profile on the Platform that contains general information about itself, including, as applicable, its products or services, and its management team (a Profile). A Profile is publicly available to anyone accessing the Platform. A Start-up may also post confidential information and grant access only to certain Participants.

17. After setting up a Profile, a Participant may request a connection by visiting another Participant's profile (the Connection Services). AngelList will confirm the relationship between the Participants. A verified connection is required in order for a Participant to send other Participants a message or request an introduction to other Participant's connections.

18. Any Start-up can also post job openings on the Platform and seek applicants from Participants on the Platform for such job openings (the Recruiting Services) (together with the Connection Services, the Public Services).

Restricted Area and Restricted Services

19. The Platform includes a password protected area (the restricted area). Participants must apply to enter the restricted area, and ALA only permits Accredited Investors to enter the restricted area.

20. Once Participants have been approved for access to the restricted area, they may further apply to access certain services, which are referred to below as Restricted Services. ALA only permits Quality Investors to access the Restricted Services, subject to the limitations applicable to Direct Investors as described in paragraph 76. Based on the Filers' experience in the United States, approximately 30% of U.S. accredited investors that apply to access the Restricted Services meet ALA's Quality Investor standard and are approved to use the Restricted Services.

21. The Restricted Services consist of the following:

a. ALA allows both Start-ups and Syndicate Lead Investors (as defined in paragraph 27) the ability to raise money for a specific Start-up by forming a syndicate of investors through the Platform (the Syndicate Services).

b. ALA allows Microfund Lead Investors (as defined in paragraph 39) the ability to raise money through the Platform for specific funds that invest in a variety of Start-ups identified in each case by the Microfund Lead Investor (the Microfund Services).

c. ALA provides a transaction update email to Quality Investors. ALA has an algorithm that uses objective criteria to identify Start-ups seeking to raise capital from a syndicate of investors and provides a list of these Start-ups to Quality Investors who request this information.

d. ALA offers a program for Quality Investors who plan to invest a substantial amount (which is at least USD$600,000) through the Platform and satisfy such other conditions as ALA may implement from time to time (the Professional Investor Program). Under this program, ALA introduces these Quality Investors to Start-ups that do not wish to make it known publicly that they are raising capital through a syndicate.

22. In the U.S., accredited investors who are not Quality Investors may invest in diversified funds created by ALA (referred to as Platform Funds) that invest in a wide variety of syndicates on the Platform. ALA does not currently offer Platform Funds or similar funds to investors in Canada. ALA has commenced discussions with staff of the OSC on what basis it may offer Platform Funds or similar funds to investors in Canada.

Services Offered in Canada

23. AngelList makes the Public Services available to Participants.

24. ALA makes the Syndicate Services available to:

a. Start-ups and Syndicate Lead Investors, and

b. Quality Investors,

subject to certain restrictions set out below.

25. ALA makes the Microfund Services available to:

a. Microfund Lead Investors, and

b. Quality Investors,

subject to certain restrictions set out below.

26. ALA makes the Professional Investor Program available to Quality Investors who qualify as a "permitted client" as defined in section 1.1 of NI 31-103 and excluding Direct Investors.

Syndicate Services

27. Syndicates can be formed by the founder or management of a Start-up itself or by an investor who is investing in a single Start-up, who wishes to make this investment opportunity available to other investors (co-investors) on the same terms and conditions, and who has been reviewed and approved by ALA as described in paragraphs 79 to 87 (a Syndicate Lead Investor). Each syndicate only invests in securities of a single Start-up (a syndicate).

28. A Start-up or Syndicate Lead Investor requests approval from ALA to establish the syndicate.

29. ALA reviews the request from the Start-up or Syndicate Lead Investor and determines whether to allow the Start-up or Syndicate Lead Investor to form a syndicate. In reviewing a request to form a syndicate, ALA reviews the Start-up for the following features:

a. Whether the Start-up is a growth-oriented technology or technology-enabled company that has the potential to develop into a large stand-alone business;

b. Whether the Start-up is focused on a product or service that will provide social, economic or environmental benefits or that is likely to meet a strong market demand; and

c. Whether, in ALA's opinion, the Start-up is likely to appeal to Quality Investors.

30. ALA will not permit reporting issuers or any public company in any other jurisdiction to form a syndicate on the Platform.

31. If ALA grants approval to form a syndicate, the Start-up or the Syndicate Lead Investor, as applicable, completes and posts an investor note (the syndicate investor note) about the syndicate on the restricted area of the Platform. The syndicate investor note contains factual information about the proposed capital raise, the Start-up to be invested in, any co-investors, the risks associated with investing in the Start-up, past financing of the Start-up, and other key investment terms and conditions.

32. Interested Quality Investors may conduct due diligence on the Syndicate Lead Investor and/or the Start-up. Quality Investors use their own judgment whether to invest in a syndicate.

33. Neither ALA nor the Syndicate Lead Investor nor the Start-up:

a. provide specific recommendations or advice to particular Quality Investors about the suitability of an investment in a Start-up through an SPE; or

b. recommend or solicit any particular purchase or sale by a Quality Investor of an SPE's securities.

34. Interested Quality Investors may submit non-binding requests for additional information through the Platform to either the Start-up or Syndicate Lead Investor about the Start-up that is being syndicated.

35. If there is sufficient interest to proceed with closing a syndicate investment, ALA establishes a special purpose entity (SPE) to accept the funds from committed investors and to acquire the Start-up's securities. The SPE formed to invest in the Start-up is required under U.S. securities law to have 99 or fewer investors (which may be increased to 250 in certain circumstances). For investments in Eligible Canadian Start-ups, for tax reasons Canadian investors may be, but need not be, aggregated into a parallel Canadian SPE. If used, a parallel Canadian SPE will otherwise invest on identical terms and conditions to a standard SPE.

36. ALA conducts a review of each Start-up's constating documents and Closing Documents (as defined in paragraph 54) to ensure they are consistent with the information in the Profile and the syndicate investor note, the results of any background reviews and any accompanying materials or information provided to it by an investor, the Syndicate Lead Investor and/or the Start-up and determines if the Closing Documents are complete, consistent and not misleading. If it appears to ALA that the Closing Documents are incomplete, inconsistent or misleading, ALA will require the Closing Documents to be corrected, made complete, or clarified.

37. For their role in a syndicate, ALA and the Syndicate Lead Investor will only receive compensation equal to a portion of the increase in value, if any, of the investment as calculated at the termination of the investment in the SPE (the Syndicate Carried Interest), and will not receive any transaction-based compensation. None of the Filers, the Syndicate Lead Investor, nor any of their officers or directors receive any other form of commission or transaction-based compensation related to the Restricted Services, including the Syndicate Services.

38. From October 24, 2016 (being the date when ALA became registered in Ontario) to the date of this Decision, approximately 3,400 Start-ups have raised capital from a syndicate on the platform pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Initial Ontario decision and the Prior CSA Decisions. The Filers are in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Prior CSA Decisions.

Microfund Services

39. Microfunds can be formed by an investor who intends to invest in a portfolio of Start-ups over a specified period and who wishes to make those investment opportunities available to other investors (co-investors) on the same terms and conditions, and who has been reviewed and approved by ALA as described in paragraphs 79 to 87 (a Microfund Lead Investor).

40. A Microfund Lead Investor requests approval from ALA to establish the microfund.

41. ALA reviews the request from the Microfund Lead Investor and determines whether to allow the Microfund Lead Investor to form a microfund. In reviewing a request to form a microfund, ALA reviews the Microfund Lead Investor and the proposed microfund for all of the following features:

a. The Microfund Lead Investor has been reviewed and approved by ALA as described in paragraphs 79 to 87;

b. The Microfund Lead Investor is a Credible Investor;

c. The Microfund Lead Investor is investing his or her own money in or alongside the microfund;

d. That any conflicts of interest that the Microfund Lead Investor might have in relation to the microfund are clearly articulated such that they can be appropriately disclosed to Quality Investors;

e. The investment thesis for the microfund; and

f. Whether, in ALA's opinion, the microfund is likely to appeal to Quality Investors.

42. Microfunds can invest in any technology Start-up identified by the Microfund Lead Investor that in the opinion of ALA is consistent with the microfund's investment thesis. The Filers have other policies and operational limitations that result in restrictions on certain types of investments being made by microfunds.

43. If ALA grants approval to form a microfund, the Microfund Lead Investor completes and posts an investor note (the microfund investor note) about the microfund on the restricted area of the Platform. The microfund investor note contains factual information about the Microfund Lead Investor's background, the microfund's investment thesis, the expected investment period, average deal size to be made in a start-up by the microfund and any conflicts of interest between the microfund lead investor and the microfund.

44. Interested Quality Investors may conduct due diligence on the Microfund Lead Investor. Quality Investors use their own judgment as to whether to invest in a microfund.

45. Neither ALA nor the Microfund Lead Investor nor any Start-up:

a. recommends to, or advises Quality Investors about the suitability of, an investment in a microfund; or

b. recommends or solicits any particular purchase or sale by a Quality Investor of a microfund's securities.

46. Interested Quality Investors may submit requests for additional information through the Platform to the Microfund Lead Investor about the microfund.

47. If there is sufficient interest to proceed with closing a microfund, ALA establishes a limited partnership or limited liability company (LLC) to accept the subscription funds from committed investors, and investors are issued limited partnership or LLC interests of the microfund in exchange for those funds. Subscription funds are deposited with the U.S. bank referred to in paragraphs 57 and 58.

48. When the Microfund Lead Investor wants to make an investment from the microfund into a specific Start-up, the Microfund Lead Investor informs ALA. ALA will verify that the investment conforms with the investment thesis and reviews any conflicts of interest the Microfund Lead Investor may have in relation to the investment. ALA will ensure that all required documents relating to the investment are provided to investors. Once ALA approves the investment, the U.S. bank referred to in paragraphs 57 and 58 will wire the required funds to the Start-up.

49. For their role in a microfund, ALA and the Microfund Lead Investor will only receive compensation equal to a portion of the increase in value, if any, of the investment as calculated at the termination of the investment in the microfund (the Microfund Carried Interest) and, in certain instances, a customary management fee (from 1 -- 3%), split between ALA and the Microfund Lead Investor. None of the Filers, the Microfund Lead Investor, nor any of their officers or directors receive any other form of commission or transaction-based compensation related to the Microfund Services.

50. Each microfund has a common general partner or LLC manager that is supported in carrying out its duties by the Microfund Lead Investor. The Microfund Lead Investor contributes to the Start-ups that receive microfund investments in a similar manner to that of early-stage Canadian venture capital funds. This generally includes direct involvement in the appointment of managers by using the Microfund Lead Investor's network of contacts to source, recruit, vet and provide references for members of senior management of the Start-up, as well as key members of the Start-up's product development, business development or technology teams. The Microfund Lead Investor also represents the microfund in material management decisions affecting the Start-up that require the input of the Start-up's principal investors. At the early stage material decisions of this nature generally include whether to support financings, uses of capital and any material business decisions, and in later stages decisions requiring investor consent are usually formalized in protective contractual provisions.

Procedures Common to Syndicates and Microfunds

51. ALA has engaged an affiliated consulting and fund administration firm (the SPE/Microfund Manager) to provide administrative services in relation to the SPEs and microfunds on terms no less favorable than those available from an arms' length firm. On behalf of ALA, the SPE/Microfund Manager handles the formation and organization of each SPE and microfund, certain closing procedures for the investments, securities filings, ongoing administration, and winding up the SPE or microfund where applicable.

52. The first time a Quality Investor invests with a syndicate or microfund, prior to closing of that syndicate or microfund, the Quality Investor is asked to confirm his or her interest in investing in Start-ups generally, and to acknowledge a series of risk warnings including warnings as to risk of total loss of the investment, illiquidity of the securities and dilution risk, and the need for the Quality Investor to conduct his or her own due diligence on the Start-up or microfund, as applicable. Detailed risk warning acknowledgements are not obtained from Quality Investors on subsequent investments; however, certain risks are acknowledged upon each Quality Investor's acceptance of the provisions of the Closing Documents.

53. For each syndicate or microfund, prior to closing that syndicate or microfund, the Quality Investor is also asked to reconfirm his or her accredited investor status. If a Quality Investor indicates that his or her status has changed such that he or she is no longer an accredited investor, the investor is not permitted to invest with the syndicate or microfund and is not permitted to access the restricted area of the Platform. Quality Investors electronically agree to and sign the SPE or microfund Closing Documents on the Platform and are provided with wire instructions for their investment amounts.

54. After a Quality Investor commits to making an investment with a syndicate or microfund, the Quality Investor receives the following:

a. in the case of a syndicate, the SPE's operating or limited partnership agreement, the SPE's private placement memorandum, the subscription or purchase agreement for the purchase of securities of the SPE, an investor statement (which is a screen confirming how much the Quality Investor invested in the SPE and the corresponding investment by the SPE in the Start-up as of the specific date), a signature certificate (which is a screen showing the investor that documents have been digitally signed and a digital fingerprint provided for security reasons) and the syndicate investor note; or

b. in the case of a microfund, the microfund's operating, limited partnership or LLC agreement (as applicable), the microfund's private placement memorandum, the subscription or purchase agreement for the purchase of securities of the microfund, an investor statement (which is a screen confirming how much the Quality Investor invested in the microfund), a signature certificate (which is a screen showing the investor that documents have been digitally signed and a digital fingerprint provided for security reasons) and the microfund investor note.

The documents referred to above are the Closing Documents. The SPE/Microfund Manager will retain the Closing Documents for eight years.

55. Either the Filers or SPE/Microfund Manager will deliver electronically to the securities regulatory authority of each jurisdiction of Canada where a distribution occurs, any of the documents that constitute an offering memorandum (as defined under the Legislation). In the case of a syndicate, the Filers will inform the Start-up that the Start-up must deliver electronically to the securities regulatory authority of each jurisdiction of Canada where a distribution occurs a copy of any document that constitutes an offering memorandum (as defined under the Legislation) that has not already been delivered.

56. Prior to closing a syndicate or microfund, ALA uses a third-party service (such as Blockscore or Jumio) to verify the identity of each Quality Investor. ALA also runs anti-money laundering and terrorist financing checks. The verification process and anti-money laundering and terrorist financing checks are performed on both individual and non-individual Quality Investors (entities). For non-individual Quality Investors, the Filers contact the investor by email to determine the identity of the individual principal(s) of the Quality Investor. AML and terrorist financing checks are performed through a politically exposed person (PEP) list and/or Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list search. Similar verification processes and checks will be performed for Canadian investors.

57. Neither the Filers nor the SPE nor the microfund holds, handles or controls any investor or Start-up funds. The funds are held by and deposited in a single trust account that has been established by a FDIC-member U.S. bank in the name of the bank for the benefit of investors investing through the Platform or, depending on the size of the syndicate or microfund and other considerations, a separate account in the name of the bank for the benefit of investors in the particular fund. The Filers do not intermingle their own monies in these accounts.

58. Once all expected funds have been received by the bank, the bank notifies ALA. ALA then issues advice to the bank to initiate funds transfer to the Start-up or, in the case of microfunds, ALA issues advice to the bank to initiate funds transfer to a Start-up when the applicable investment has been approved.

59. All Quality Investors in a syndicate are notified electronically that the investment by the SPE in the Start-up is finalized and to provide them with a copy of the final Closing Documents. Investors in microfunds are notified electronically from time to time that investments have been made by the microfund.

60. The Filers will utilize the same bank and procedures for investments in Eligible Canadian Start-ups completed on the Platform. Although initially the Platform will only support transactions denominated in U.S. dollars, the Filers plan to support transactions in Canadian dollars and utilize Canadian banking services as required for transactions in Canadian dollars.

61. Quality Investors have access to an individual account on the Platform where they may view information about the transaction and access copies of the Closing Documents. The Closing Documents will be retained and made available to Quality Investors through the Platform for at least eight years.

62. ALA requires that each investor in a syndicate or microfund pay a portion of the costs associated with the closing of the syndicate or microfund investment (such as legal fees) in proportion to the investor's investment.

63. Neither the syndicate nor the SPE or microfund, as applicable, borrows funds from investors or the public for any reason. The syndicate, the SPE or microfund, as applicable, and the Filers do not loan money or extend margin to investors that wish to invest in a Start-up as part of a syndicate or microfund.

64. The Filers do not facilitate any secondary trading of previously issued securities, whether originally issued to the members of a syndicate, the investors in a microfund or otherwise.

Professional Investor Program

65. ALA is involved with a number of syndicates in which the Start-up does not wish to disclose publicly that it is seeking funding (the Private Syndicates).

66. These Private Syndicates are only made available to Quality Investors who:

a. intend to invest a substantial amount, which will be specified by ALA from time to time (but in any event over USD$600,000), in syndicates through the Platform;

b. invest a substantial average amount to be specified by ALA from time to time (but in any event will be, on average, at least USD$50,000 per month) in syndicates;

c. sign a non-disclosure agreement with ALA; and

d. are able to make investment decisions in a timely manner.

67. ALA has automated functionality that matches certain Private Syndicates with the Quality Investor's selected objective criteria, based on filters that the Quality Investor selected when the Quality Investor signed up for the Professional Investor Program.

68. ALA provides the list of Private Syndicates to the Quality Investor.

69. The Quality Investor conducts his or her own due diligence on the Start-up or the Private Syndicate.

70. The Quality Investor will make his or her own decision as to which Private Syndicate to invest in. The same investment procedures that are used for a typical syndicate also apply to a Private Syndicate.

71. There are no fees for participating in the Professional Investor Program.

Participants

Investors

72. When opening an account with AngelList to seek ALA's approval for Quality Investor status, each investor provides the Filers with the category of accredited investor the investor meets, which for Canadian investors will correspond to the definition of accredited investor in Canadian securities legislation. In addition, the Filers request that each investor provides the following information when opening an account:

a. The amount the investor has budgeted for investing in Start-ups on the Platform;

b. The investor's net worth band (e.g., > $1 million, > $2 million, > $5 million, with currency being denominated in U.S. dollars). For Canadian investors, bands are denominated in Canadian dollars;

c. The proportion of the investor's net worth that the investor's budget for investing in Start-ups represents; and

d. The investor's experience in investing in Start-ups or working for or with private equity firms and venture capital firms and the investor's connection to other investors and Start-ups on the Platform.

The above-listed information, to the extent provided by an investor, is retained on the Platform by the Filers for eight years.

73. In addition to providing the information in paragraph 72, each investor acknowledges the following risks associated with investing in Start-ups generally when signing up to access the Public Services and Restricted Services:

a. Risk of loss of an investor's entire investment in a Start-up;

b. Illiquidity risk;

c. No due diligence of a Start-up is conducted by the Filers;

d. Dilution risk;

e. Risk of change in the Start-up's plans, markets and products; and

f. No recommendation or advice is provided by the Filers to the investor.

In addition:

g. Prior to making an investment, the investor must acknowledge that he or she will receive limited or no initial or ongoing information about the investment; and

h. The syndicate investor note or microfund investor note (as applicable) will disclose any conflicts of interest that may exist.

The above-listed information is retained on the Platform or by ALA for eight years.

74. To determine if an investor is a Quality Investor, ALA manually conducts an assessment of each investor's experience and knowledge with respect to venture capital and angel investing based upon available information about the investor, which may include the following information:

a. The investor's previous venture capital and angel investments and the size of those investments (as declared by the investor or otherwise known to ALA);

b. The investor's connections to other founders and investors (as reflected on his or her profile on the Platform or other websites), and ALA's assessment of those founders and investors; and

c. ALA's judgement about an investor's previous venture capital and angel investing experience with other top investors and the investor's reputation.

75. If, based on ALA's assessment, an investor does not have sufficient experience and knowledge with respect to venture capital and angel investing, ALA will not approve the investor as a Quality Investor. In order to access the Restricted Services an investor (other than a Direct Investor) must first be approved as a Quality Investor.

76. Syndicate Lead Investors and Microfund Lead Investors may allow certain investors (Direct Investors) who ALA has not yet approved as Quality Investors to access and invest in such Syndicate Lead Investor's and Microfund Lead Investor's investments provided that:

a. the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor, as applicable, acknowledges that:

(1) the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor, as applicable, has a substantive pre-existing relationship with such Direct Investor sufficient to understand the Direct Investor's knowledge and experience in investing with venture capital and angel investing;

(2) the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor, as applicable, believes, in good faith, that such Direct Investor is a Quality Investor; and

b. such Direct Investor provides ALA with the category of accredited investor the Direct Investor meets, which for Canadian investors will correspond to the definition of accredited investor in Canadian securities legislation, prior to making an investment on the Platform.

A Direct Investor may not access through the Restricted Services investments of any Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor other than the one that directly invited them to the Platform until such Direct Investor requests access to the Restricted Services (following the process for investors who are not Direct Investors) and is approved by ALA as a Quality Investor. ALA will periodically review Direct Investors who subsequently apply for access to the Restricted Services to assess whether the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor, as the case may be, is inviting Direct Investors who are Quality Investors. ALA is not delegating or relying on the lead investor to ensure that the Direct Investor has sufficient experience in venture capital and angel investing and remains responsible for ensuring Direct Investors are Quality Investors. If it comes to ALA's attention that, contrary to the acknowledgement, a Syndicate Lead Investor or a Microfund Lead Investor is allowing Direct Investors who are not Quality Investors to access and invest in such Syndicate Lead Investor's and Microfund Lead Investor's investments, ALA will take actions to address the violation.

77. ALA may, in lieu of manual reviews described in Paragraph 74, elect to use computer algorithms to programmatically rank investors based on the information provided by the investor and approve as Quality Investors only investors that achieve a minimum ranking as established by ALA from time to time.

78. In Canada, Accredited Investors that are not Quality Investors will not be permitted to invest as part of a syndicate or microfund through the Platform and will not be permitted access to the Restricted Services.

Lead Investors

79. Only Accredited Investors can apply to be Syndicate Lead Investors or Microfund Lead Investors. ALA retains the right and full discretion to determine whether a person may act as a Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor.

80. ALA reviews a potential Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor for previous experience related to venture capital and angel investing by reviewing the Syndicate Lead Investor's or Microfund Lead Investor's activity on relevant social media and other websites (such as Crunchbase and Google), if such information is available. If a Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor does not have social media presence to review, ALA will assess the information personally known to ALA staff and obtained through conversations with the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor, as the case may be, and with other sources.

81. ALA also reviews references provided by each Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor related to his or her prior Start-up investments.

82. In addition to the qualifications outlined in paragraphs 80 and 81, Microfund Lead Investors must: (i) invest their own money into or alongside the microfund and (ii) clearly disclose any conflicts they might have to the microfund and clearly articulate what part of their deal flow will go through the microfund. Each Microfund Lead Investor must also be determined by ALA to be a Credible Investor.

83. In the case of syndicates, if ALA is not satisfied that a Syndicate Lead Investor has sufficient knowledge and experience related to Start-up and/or venture capital investing, ALA will also consider whether there is a Credible Investor involved in the syndicate and who is investing on the same terms and conditions as the investors in the syndicate.

84. Where ALA approves a Syndicate Lead Investor to form a syndicate or a Microfund Lead Investor to form a microfund, ALA requires each Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor, as applicable, to sign an agreement with ALA. For so long as the Syndicate Lead Investor has an interest in the Start-up that the Syndicate Lead Investor has syndicated or the Microfund Lead Investor has an interest in the microfund, this agreement requires, among other things, the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor:

a. to assist ALA and the SPE/Microfund Manager as necessary to allow ALA and the SPE/Microfund Manager to comply with applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to the syndicate or the microfund and the syndicate's or microfunds' investment in the Start-up,

b. to provide ALA with information about the Start-ups invested in by the syndicate or microfund as required by ALA or the SPE/Microfund Manager to service the syndicate or the microfund, and

c. to provide ALA with written notice of certain events, including subsequent investment in the Start-up by the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor, sale or transfer of the Syndicate Lead Investor's or Microfund Lead Investor's securities in the Start-up, and how the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor has voted.

In the event the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor, as applicable, fails to comply with the agreement, ALA will take action for the breach, including terminating its agreement with a Syndicate Lead Investor or a Microfund Lead Investor where there is a material violation of the conditions of this Decision.

85. Syndicate Lead Investors and Microfund Lead Investors are required to disclose all conflicts of interest to ALA and to potential Quality Investors (including Direct Investors). Conflicts of interest that must be disclosed include whether the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor invested in a previous round of financing by the Start-up or a prospective portfolio company of the microfund, is an employee or officer of the Start-up or a prospective portfolio company of the microfund, or has family members working at the Start-up or a prospective portfolio company of the microfund, and any other circumstances judged by ALA to constitute conflicts or potential conflicts.

86. A Syndicate Lead Investor invests either directly with the Start-up or alongside other investors in the syndicate on the same terms and conditions as the investors in the syndicate. A Microfund Lead Investor invests directly in the microfund or alongside the microfund on the same terms and conditions as the investors in the microfund.

87. Prior to the closing of the syndicate or the microfund, ALA conducts a background check on the Syndicate Lead Investor or Microfund Lead Investor as applicable (through a third party service provider), including criminal record, securities regulatory, AML, terrorist financing, and economic and political sanctions watch-lists. In addition, similar background checks are conducted annually on Syndicate Lead Investors and Microfund Lead Investors. ALA conducts and maintains third-party background checks on the individuals at ALA who act as officers and directors of the SPE.

Start-ups

88. ALA conducts background reviews on the Start-up that a syndicate invests in and each founder (which generally includes the president or chief executive officer) of such Start-up before the close of a syndicate.

89. ALA conducts these background reviews on the Start-up that a syndicate invests in and such Start-up's founders by utilizing internet search engines and other online resources for evidence of: criminal record, securities regulatory, AML terrorist financing, and economic and political sanctions watch-lists.

90. The Microfund Lead Investor performs due diligence on each Start-up and its founders in which the microfund invests.

91. ALA does not permit a syndicate to close, if any of the Start-up, its president or chief executive officer has pled guilty to or has been found guilty of an offence related to or has entered into a settlement agreement in a matter that involved fraud or securities violations or if the Start-up is bankrupt.
