The Pearl Fund: An Opportunity Zone/Venture Capital Fund

We are both a Qualified Opportunity Zone & Venture Capital Fund

The Pearl Fund is the first Venture Capital fund designed to generate high returns that will be completely tax-free to investors via the Opportunity Zone tax laws.

There are significant tax benefits for investors who put their capital gains into Qualified Opportunity Zone Funds within their 180 day window.

The Pearl Fund is a Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund as designated by the IRS, and is an SEC Regulation D: Rule 506(c) private placement compliant fund.

Laser Focused on High Potential Startups

We are not a real-estate OZ fund.

We focus our investments in high potential early-stage startups that have the potential to yield a 10X+ return.

This in turn is expected to create a much greater economic impact for the communities while delivering significantly higher returns for investors than real estate-specific OZ funds.

Venture fund investing is higher risk than real estate investing, so we recommend putting the majority of your capital gains into one of the other OZ fund(s) that is real estate focused (link) and putting the balance into an alternative OZ+VC Fund like ours.
