some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better
understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and

Post-Qualification Amendment No. 28 to Form 1-A
There is currently no active trading market..., page 12
1.You disclose that you may elect for certain Series Interests not to trade in secondary
transactions, and that you are not allowing certain series to trade on the PPEX ATS.
Please tell us the reason for restricting secondary trading in particular interests. Please
also clarify whether the restriction relates only to trades on the PPEX ATS or whether it
extends to any secondary transaction, including private sales or transfers. Please also
clarify on your website that secondary transactions are restricted for certain interests, as
the website, including the FAQ, suggests that secondary trading is available for all
interests.

The PPEX ATS is the only venue..., page 18
2.You disclose that the PPEX ATS is the only venue for secondary trading. Please clarify
whether investors are required to use the PPEX ATS for all secondary trading, and are not
permitted to conduct resales outside of PPEX.
Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure, page 42
3.You disclose that you may offer directly to certain Investors a significant portion of the
interest in any given series without the aid of the platform and prior to the platform-based
offering. You also state that within two calendar days of the qualification date of an
offering, you may sell some of the interests on a limited basis. Please tell us whether you
can sell all of the interests in a series outside of the platform or on a limited basis, or
whether you reserve any of the interests for sale on the platform.
Fees and Expenses, page 49
4.Please include a description of the Success Fee in this section.
5.You disclose that for all previously closed offerings the Manager will retroactively pay the
custodian the custody fee upon transfer of interests related to such offerings into the
brokerage accounts. Please clarify whether the custody fee is being funded by the
manager or if it is being funded by the particular series.
General
6.We note that the initial closing of each series will occur at the earlier of (i) the date
subscriptions for the maximum offering amount for a series have been accepted or (ii) a
date determined by the Manager in its sole discretion. On page 47 you disclose that the
Manager and the BOR will review the subscription documentation completed and signed
by an investor and that you reserve the right to reject any subscriptions, in whole or in
part, for any or no reason. Additionally, it appears you reserve the right to withdraw any
offering of a series at any time prior to closing. As it appears that you have an
undetermined time to process subscription requests and can reject a subscription for any
reason and may terminate the offering even after the minimum offering threshold has been
met, please provide us your analysis as to whether your offering should be considered to
be a delayed offering and not a continuous offering within the meaning of Rule
251(d)(3)(i)(F) of Regulation A.
7.We note that your website indicates that your advisory board, senior staff and investors
"bring experience from some of the world’s leading companies and institutions, including
Facebook, Barclays, Robinhood, New York University, Mecum Auctions, StockTwits,
Boston Consulting Group, Algar Ferrari, and Gartner Research." However, your
disclosure on page 77 indicates that you do not have any employees, and the biographies
for members of your advisory board do not indicate that the advisors have experience at
the companies listed. Please advise.

8.Please reconcile the disclosure on your website which suggests that Rally is a platform for
secondary trading with disclosure in the 1-A stating that secondary trading occurs through
the PPEX ATS. We note extensive descriptions on the website of Live Trading on Rally,
that Rally's platform allows buyers and sellers to place BIDs and ASKs on assets, and
references to Rally Market Hours. However, your disclosure says that no secondary
trading will occur on the platform, and indicates that frequency and duration of the periods
of time during which PPEX will match offers to buy and sell will be determined by NCPS.
9.You disclose that all investors who previously purchased interests will be required to opt-
in to allow the custodian to create a brokerage account and transfer previously issued
interests into such brokerage accounts. However, your disclosure elsewhere says that
shares will be transferred "upon consent" of the investor. Please clarify the method for
transferring interests into these brokerage accounts. Please also indicate whether investors
will be subject to additional fees as part of this transfer.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
You may contact Scott Anderegg at 202-551-3342 or Erin Jaskot at 202-551-3442 if you
have any questions.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
