Final Exam
At some point the deals outgrow your bank account. Then you raise the equity, structure the entity, and keep it legal.
You work JVs, syndications, and funds, the securities law you cannot ignore, and the documents that govern a raise: the PPM, the subscription agreement, the operating agreement. You build a waterfall that pays investors and still pays you, then run the raise from soft circle to funded.
Eight modules, 35 written lessons, 101 practice questions, and a graded final exam with a certificate. The capstone structures a three million dollar raise. Self-paced, 12 months of access included.
Stop bringing deals to other people. Run the raise yourself.
Educational only. This is not legal, tax, or investment advice. Confirm securities matters with your own attorney.
