How Influencers Can Legally Raise Capital in Public? As “raising in public” becomes more normalized and the influencer → VC industry begins to heat up, we wanted to share legal insights on how to raise VC capital in public. The interview below between David Teten (Venture Partner at Coolwater Capital, an investor in VC funds and runs an accelerator for emerging VC fund managers) and Nik Talreja (Sydecar CEO and Last Money In Media Partner) is a great piece that can help upcoming VCs/Syndicates/Founders better understand the legal framework on how to raise in public, while staying compliant. How can influencers raise capital for companies or funds, without running afoul of restrictions on “general solicitation”? The 2012 bipartisan JOBS Act was supposed to empower funds and individuals to raise capital more openly: to publicly advertise their track record and what they’re selling, just like almost every other industry. However, as far as I know, the great majority of private capital raises for funds and companies are still not using general solicitation. Winter Mead, Founder & CEO of Coolwater Capital, an accelerator for emerging fund managers, said: “Fewer than 5 of the 180 emerging managers we’ve worked with are raising via 506c, in order to get in front of more retail LPs, who are generally already following the GP, e.g., through the GP’s newsletter or community. At this point, all of them are currently planning to do 506c again for their next fund.” Check out the full piece! -- Powered by Sydecar, Last Money In Media is the #1 Newsletter on Venture Capital Syndicates, SPVs and the Venture Capital Ecosystem, written by Zachary Ginsburg and Alex Pattis. https://lnkd.in/eUdnj7HW

At The London Fund, this is how we are defining the venture capital model. Instead of simply investing money, we invested strategic marketing power through INFLUENCE®. By leveraging our ECHO CHAMBER methodology, we harness the collective force of influencers, our Limited Partners, who range from 300k to 20M followers. They amplify the presence of startups we believe in. These aren't just any influencers. They're tactical communicators who engage dynamically with each other’s content, creating waves of awareness exponentially larger than typical campaigns. This is our modern take on venture capital: providing startups with viral marketing and guidance to skyrocket their visibility and growth. In exchange, INFLUENCE® receives equity and terms for a potential future investment. Through continuous innovation and dedication, we've taken the idea of venture capital, cut out yearly 2% fees, offered a more valuable resource than money alone, and as a result, created a new trail entirely. Where do you see the biggest opportunities for innovation? To learn more about #leadership, #entrepreneurship, and #VentureCapital, follow me, Ashesh Shah.

you know why a lot of influencers and startups gain quick fame? because hooks, click bait, sensation and more such stuff. They are a house built on cards. It is not sustainable. VC money in the wrong hands and internet access to a wrong person is like sugar rush. The quicker the high comes, the quicker is the crash. They are may be here today, but trust me they will be gone tomorrow. And no one will bat an eye. These startups and influencers might lead you to think they're the hot sh*t on the internet right now. But the fundamentals of sustainable fame (likes of SRK)... and sustainable business (likes of Tata Group) is what matters. These sustainable pieces were there when you were a child, they will stay for longer in the game. They know how to play poker. And the cardinal rule of not betting all your chips very well. They don't want to go all in. They only want to stay longer than everyone else. And that's business, my friend, that's business. Staying longer in the game than everyone else. Period.
