Most private companies raise money under exemptions from registering with the SEC, such as Rule 506(b) or 506(c) of Regulation D, and must also comply with Texas securities rules. Key steps include deciding who can invest, often limited to accredited investors; avoiding general advertising unless the exemption allows it; giving investors accurate disclosure about the business and its risks; using proper subscription agreements; filing a Form D with the SEC and any required state notices; and not paying unlicensed people commissions for finding investors. Securities laws hold founders responsible for misleading statements, even informal ones. Working with counsel before you talk to investors is the safest path. Kennedy Sutherland LLP advises on private offerings.

Co-founders should agree in writing early. A common approach splits ownership based on each founder's expected contribution of time, money, ideas and skills, not just who had the idea. Vesting is important: founder shares typically vest over several years, so a founder who leaves early does not keep the full stake. Each founder should assign their business-related intellectual property to the company. A founders' or shareholder agreement should cover decision-making, transfer restrictions, buy-back rights, and what happens if a founder leaves, dies or the founders deadlock. Founders receiving restricted stock may want to file an 83(b) election within 30 days. Kennedy Sutherland LLP prepares founder documents.
