Fundraising Guidance

Legal support through every stage of your capital raise.

Fundraising is exciting — and legally complex. Raphael works alongside founders and CFOs to make sure the legal side of a capital raise is handled cleanly, efficiently, and without slowing down the deal.

What This Covers

  • Pre-raise legal readiness assessments and cap table cleanup
  • Drafting and negotiating SAFEs, convertible notes, and equity financings
  • Coordinating investor due diligence and data room organization
  • Advising on securities law compliance and exemptions (Reg D, Reg CF, etc.)
  • Closing mechanics and post-closing obligations

Why It Matters

  • Investors conduct legal diligence — disorganized records and missing documents can kill or delay a deal
  • Securities law compliance is non-negotiable — violations can be expensive and damaging
  • Having experienced counsel means faster closes and fewer surprises

Who This Is For

  • Early-stage companies raising their first institutional round
  • Companies doing follow-on rounds who want clean, consistent documentation
  • Founders who want a legal partner through the full fundraising process
