How Pre-Seed Founders Use a Friends-and-Family Round

Listen for free

View show details

Before VCs write the first check, most founders turn to friends and family. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down the mechanics: how to structure a friends-and-family round without damaging relationships, what the SEC's accredited investor rules mean for this stage, and why $50,000 from your aunt is different from $50,000 from an angel. They dig into the Sarbanes-Oxley-era General Solicitation Rule and share a specific term-sheet template for informal rounds. Plus: how one founder used a simple Google Sheet and a SAFE note with a $2 million cap to raise $120,000 from 11 family members. Essential listening for any pre-seed founder navigating that first awkward dinner-table ask. #FriendsAndFamilyRound #PreSeedFunding #SAFENote #GeneralSolicitationRule #SECRegulationD #AccreditedInvestor #FounderAdvice #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #StartupFunding #EarlyStage #CapitalRaising #TermSheet #InvestorRelations #FamilyOffice #AngelInvesting #SeedRound #Entrepreneurship Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
