| Typisch lid | All members qualify as accredited investors under US federal securities law. The membership includes individuals and couples, family offices and other investment groups, and a distinct out-of-state cohort who must live full-time outside Texas. | LAVA's own description covers limited partners, venture capitalists, family offices, angel investors, founders, incubators, accelerators, universities, researchers, mentors, government officials and legal, accounting, marketing and PR service providers. Its membership tiers price these groups differently, with separate rates for entrepreneurs, investors, VC partners, limited partners and academics. |
