Should you launch a fund or a syndication?
It's one of the first questions every capital raiser asks.
But before you can answer it, you need to understand something even more important:
Is your deal actually a security?
In this live keynote, we walk through the legal framework behind raising private capital, from the Howey Test and joint venture analysis to choosing between syndications, funds, fund of funds, and other investment structures. We also break down the biggest compliance traps operators and capital raisers face, and how to avoid them before they become expensive mistakes.
You'll learn:
• The three-question framework for choosing the right investment structure
• How the Howey Test determines whether your deal is a security
• The difference between joint ventures, syndications, funds, and fund of funds
• Whether you're an operator or capital aggregator, and why that distinction matters
• Why many co-GP structures create unnecessary legal risk
• When a syndication makes more sense than a fund
• Why first-time capital raisers often struggle with blind pool funds
• 506(b) vs. 506(c): choosing the right exemption
• Common legal and compliance mistakes that can derail your raise
• How to build a capital-raising business that is compliant and scalable
If you're raising capital, launching your first syndication, or considering a private fund, this keynote will give you the framework you need to make the right decisions with confidence.
Stop guessing.
Choose the right structure.
Raise capital the right way.
