Raising capital in the United States can be painful the first time you do it. It is also one of the deepest pools of institutional capital on earth. The catch is simple: US investors expect US-grade structure, disclosures, and process discipline.
Many US investors prefer a familiar entity setup and a clean cap table. A Delaware C corporation is common for venture-style equity. Debt and private credit often focus more on collateral, covenants, and cashflows than the headline jurisdiction, assuming compliance checks clear.
The US has a rules-based system for securities offerings. Your path depends on who you are selling to, where they are located, and how you market the offering. Get US securities counsel early and follow the playbook.
Investors do not fund “stories.” They fund files: governance, contracts, financials, risk controls, and a credible plan. Your raise moves at the speed of your documents.
The US investor base is huge, yet most issuers waste it by pitching the wrong buyers. The right list, the right angle, and a controlled process beat mass outreach every day.
Foreign issuers usually raise capital in the US through private markets first, then grow into larger institutional channels over time. Public listings exist, yet they bring heavy reporting load and higher scrutiny.
| Capital Route | Typical Investor | Best Fit | Main Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private placements | Accredited investors, funds, family offices | Most growth equity and private debt raises | Strict marketing rules and disclosure discipline |
| Venture capital | VC firms and growth funds | High-growth startups, software, deep tech | High governance expectations and pricing pressure |
| Private credit | Direct lenders, private credit funds | Cashflow lending, asset-backed lending, acquisitions | Collateral and covenant intensity |
| Public markets | Public shareholders | Large, mature issuers with scale and controls | High reporting burden and ongoing compliance |
| Crowdfunding routes | Broader investor base | Specific profiles and controlled campaigns | Eligibility rules and platform constraints |
Many foreign founders hear “just open a Delaware C corporation.” That advice is often right for venture equity, and often incomplete for everything else. The right setup depends on your investor type, the security being issued, tax posture, and where the underlying business actually operates.
Common for venture raises, option plans, and US-style governance. Familiar to US counsel and investors.
Often used when operations remain abroad yet US contracts, customers, or investors are central to the strategy.
Private credit focuses on repayment, collateral, and controls. Entity form matters, yet enforceability and governance drive the real decision.
Tax, withholding, and “doing business” tests can change your net proceeds and reporting load. Plan it early with counsel and tax advisors.
The US Securities Act framework generally requires registration unless you fit within an exemption. Most foreign issuers raising privately rely on exemptions designed for private offerings, often under Regulation D for US investors, and Regulation S for offshore sales. Some institutional formats can involve Rule 144A.
Private fundraising is not “unregulated.” It is regulated differently. Marketing method, investor type, and disclosure quality all matter.
Beyond federal rules, state-level requirements and practical compliance steps can still apply. Your counsel should map this early, not after the first investor says yes.
US investors value clarity. That means clean financials, consistent KPIs, and a reporting cadence that does not collapse after the wire lands. The more institutional the investor, the more they care about audit quality, controls, and governance.
| Area | What Investors Commonly Expect |
|---|---|
| Financial statements | Timely and internally consistent financials, with a credible narrative that matches the numbers. |
| Accounting standards | GAAP or IFRS, plus clear reconciliation where required by the deal process and investor standards. |
| Audit posture | Independent audit readiness for larger raises, or at minimum a credible finance function and clean bookkeeping discipline. |
| Governance | Board oversight, signing authority clarity, and controls over cash, contracts, and related-party risk. |
US investors are not short on opportunities. Your outreach wins when it is specific, credible, and aligned with what that buyer actually buys. It fails when it reads like a generic blast or when the materials do not survive a basic diligence pass.
Separate the worlds: venture, growth equity, private credit, strategic capital, family offices, and institutional allocators. Each has different decision rules and time horizons.
The minimum kit should be decision-ready, not “marketing-ready.”
The best raises feel calm: clear timeline, clear next steps, clean follow-ups, fast answers, no chaos.
Investors can smell fantasy. A credible plan includes downside case, execution risk, and mitigants.
| Category | Typical Items |
|---|---|
| Corporate | Formation documents, cap table, shareholder consents, board resolutions, signing authority, material subsidiaries. |
| Financial | Historical financials, management accounts, projections, KPI definitions, debt schedule, working capital summary. |
| Commercial | Customer contracts, supplier agreements, pipeline evidence where relevant, pricing and unit economics. |
| Legal and compliance | IP ownership evidence, litigation summary, sanctions and AML posture, key licenses, related-party disclosures. |
| Transaction | Term sheet concept, use of proceeds, valuation or pricing logic, investor rights outline, closing timeline. |
Sometimes, yes. Many US equity investors prefer a Delaware entity. Some exemptions and fundraising routes have specific issuer eligibility rules. Your exact path depends on the security type, investor type, and where the offering is marketed.
Private placements often rely on Regulation D for US investors, with Regulation S for offshore investors. Certain institutional offerings can involve Rule 144A. Your counsel should determine the correct structure for your facts.
That depends on the exemption used and how you market. Some structures allow general solicitation under strict conditions. Others require a more controlled approach. Treat this as a legal issue, not a marketing preference.
Clarity and discipline: a coherent story, clean financials, credible governance, and a process that does not feel improvised. They also care about downside risk and what happens when things go wrong.
Yes. Withholding on dividends or interest, treaty eligibility, and “US trade or business” considerations can all matter. Get tax advice early so your net proceeds and reporting obligations do not surprise you.
Corporate documents, financials, material contracts, compliance posture, and a data room that makes diligence fast. The more institutional the investor, the more they will ask for proof and process.
Some fundraising routes have eligibility constraints tied to issuer jurisdiction or structure. If crowdfunding is part of your plan, confirm eligibility and offering rules with counsel before you build a campaign.
