Looking for advice on this situation. Reg D 506(b) vs 506(c) - Can I Advertise My Fundraise? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Details: I'm in a situation where I need to understand my legal options. Has anyone dealt with something similar?
At the seed stage, simplicity wins. SAFEs are simpler than convertible notes (no maturity date, no interest). But some investors prefer the forced conversion mechanic of a note. Know your leverage.
Securities compliance isn't optional. Even for a friends-and-family round (at least in my experience), you need a proper exemption (usually Reg D 506(b)). The penalties for unregistered securities offerings are severe and personal.
