Raising money sounds easy. You hand over the stock, the investor hands over the cash, and then everyone goes back to work. The reality is a little more complicated. If you're selling stock, are you selling it in a price round? Or through a convertible note, which is a bond that later converts to stock? Oh, and maybe a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity)? Are you using it?
