# Raise Capital with Self-Directed IRAs and OpenAlt®

## Tap into a $40 Trillion Funding Pool

Most investors don't realize their 401(k) or IRA can be used to invest in **private offerings**—not just stocks and bonds. With nearly **$40 trillion** in U.S. retirement accounts, that's a massive funding pool waiting to be tapped.

With a self-directed IRA (SDIRA) from an experienced provider like [The Entrust Group](https://www.theentrustgroup.com/what-we-do), your contacts can unlock their retirement funds to invest directly in your opportunity. Our innovative platform, [OpenAlt](https://access.openalt.com/user/signup), simplifies the process and integrates with the Entrust Client Portal—making investor onboarding and funding seamless.

Note: The Entrust Group is an affiliate company under the same ownership as OpenAlt.

## Here's How You Can Unlock Your Investors' Retirement Funds
