Does anyone have experience raising capital for early stage start ups (i.e. Series A, B, C,.....rounds)? I am trying to understand the legalities behind introducing a client to a VC firm and getting compensated when the capital raise is finalized. It seems this sort of transaction falls under broker/dealer securities laws but only in the event a transaction fee is paid from the investment proceeds. If the fee is paid with proceeds not coming from the investment proceeds does this still fall under securities law?
I come from the hard money/bridge loan world as a broker where securities laws don't come into play unless you are involved in private placements and soliciting investors under Reg D.
Brokering venture capital requests is new territory for me and I want to ensure I do things the right way from the beginning. I appreciate any feedback.
