Thanks for the tip drakaal. As mmvvaa points out, general solicitation is now accepted in the US. We have talked to our lawyers and we think we're safe on this side, but if anyone with more knowledge wants to chime in we'd appreciate it.

Solicitation in the US has to be qualified investors, and only after you have the copy approved by the Gov. It isn't as easy as sticking up a web page, and there are serious limitations to what you can say, and how often you can make changes.

Thanks for the comment, Drakkal. We reviewed its legality carefully before making it public, and we trust that we are within the law.

...no, not any more since Sep 23. You have to verify they're accredited investors before accepting any investment from them, but you can now broadcast your fundraising from the rooftops.
