Dear Mr. Marshall:
We have reviewed your amendment and have the following comments. In 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 offering statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and

Post-Qualification Amendment No. 5 to Form 1-A
Description of Business
Liquidity Platform, page 85
1.On page 85, you disclose that your Liquidity Platform “enables investors to buy and sell
their holdings via the PPEX ATS,” and that the Liquidity Platform “serves as the user
interface through which interest holders and prospective secondary purchasers submit
orders to buy or sell interests in a series of our company.” As the Liquidity Platform
appears to provide a market place for bringing together purchasers and sellers of
securities, please tell us why you would not fall within the definition of an exchange under
Section 3(a)(1) of the Exchange Act and Rule 3b-16(a) thereunder. In your response,
please describe how the Liquidity Platform enables the making of a secondary market in
your securities; for example, by quoting prices.

information to investors, the Broker and the PPEX ATS.” Please describe what

PPEX ATS). Please explain the circumstances under which an order or paired orders are

explain how, if at all, an investor, for example, may submit an order to the PPEX ATS
without using the Liquidity Platform.

with the Broker and North Capital Private Securities within the parameters of the
applicable regulatory requirements and the PPEX ATS.” Please identify and explain the

apply to investors use of the Liquidity Platform, Broker, and PPEX and their trading of
your securities.
4.In addition, you indicate on page 85 that “[t]he Otis Platform merely acts as a user
interface to facilitate the functionality of the PPEX ATS.” Please describe how the
Liquidity Platform facilitates the functionality of the PPEX ATS.
We will consider qualifying your offering statement at your request. If a participant in
your offering is required to clear its compensation arrangements with FINRA, please have
FINRA advise us that it has no objections to the compensation arrangements prior to
qualification.
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.
