Over the last few weeks, we have tried to outline the fundraising regulations you can operate under (506(b) vs. 506(c) and others), who really cares, what can happen when the SEC finds you are fundraising improperly, how these rules apply to venture funds, how informed investors watch out for the fundraising techniques being used by companies seeking funding from them, and some further perils, pitfalls, and prohibitions when fundraising.
If you are fundraising, or considering selling securities later, we strongly encourage you to engage with attorneys experienced in securities laws to keep you on the right track from the beginning. If you accidentally blow your exemption before you even speak to an attorney, you are not going to succeed.
Good luck!
