Who can invest in Craft Pod?
Craft Pod is open to qualified investors who meet certain criteria. Since this is a private placement (essentially a securities offering), investors must be accredited investors as defined by the SEC.
In plain terms, that usually means:
an individual with over $1 million net worth (excluding your primary home), or
income over $200,000/year (or $300,000 with a spouse) for the past two years,
or another qualifying category.
These rules ensure participants are financially sophisticated and can handle the risks of this illiquid investment.
If you’re investing through a trust, LLC, or other entity, that entity (or its owners) must also meet similar financial criteria. Craft will ask you to complete a questionnaire or certification to confirm your accredited status during the subscription process.
Who is Craft Pod designed for?
Beyond meeting the SEC criteria, Craft Pod is a good fit for investors who:
have a concentrated stock position they want to diversify in a tax-efficient way
are interested in private aviation, even if they have no prior experience
looking to decrease the expense of flying private
You do not need to already own an aircraft, be a pilot, or know anything about aviation — Craft handles all of that.
Many members are executives, entrepreneurs, or families with significant stock holdings (often from founding or investing early in a company) who want to diversify while also enjoying private flight access.
You also don’t have to be a billionaire. As long as you meet the accredited investor criteria and the minimum investment, you can be considered.
Other considerations
Craft is currently U.S.-based with most jets in U.S. cities, so it’s geared toward U.S. persons or those who spend significant time in the U.S. Overseas investors may face additional considerations or restrictions, but nationality itself isn’t a strict barrier — the key factors are wealth and accreditation.
