# What is this?
This is a companion strategy guide to the NASAA Series 65 Exam, otherwise known as the “Uniform Investment Adviser Law Exam”.
This guide is written for anyone looking to pass this exam as a pre-requisite to invest in pre-IPO startups as an angel investor.
This guide is applicable to anyone looking to angel invest in U.S.-based startups, and don’t otherwise meet the other qualifications to be considered an accredited investor.
Note: Even if you’re a foreign investor, these still apply to you under United States securities laws.

# Who wrote this and why?
My name is Andric Tham, and I’m a product manager / designer / angel investor.
I started angel investing in 2021 while taking a sabbatical, and started studying the Series 65 in order to meet accredited investor qualifications.
As part of my study journey, I wrote a ton of notes in my Roam Research graph. The notes here are a synthesis of those notes. Hopefully they will help you pass the exam too!
Note that because I studied the exam between October 2021—February 2022, some of the information here might be outdated. If you encounter inaccuracies, please contact me for corrections (see section below).
