• Are there any rules regarding who you can solicit for funding?
• If an entrepreneur wanted to use both crowd funding and speaking at Angel Investor conferences what are the legal issues?
• If you think you have a patentable idea should you apply for a patent first then go to raise money, try to raise money first, or do both at the same time?
