Russell Weigel's compulsion for writing "Capital for Keeps" is that he knows that the buzz-saw effect of the securities laws will be applied to this unknowing generation of entrepreneurs--the regulatory risks and consequences are entirely unknown to them and no one warns them. Great financial and reputational damage and potential jail time lurks under the waves of this perfect storm, which is obscured by the general (and mistaken) belief that people can fund their companies by tweeting to the internet.

However, the storm can be weathered with the guidance and insights of the author's twenty-four years of concentrated legal experience. "Capital for Keeps" highlights the legal risks associated with raising capital and the consequences of doing it incorrectly, recommends planning and consulting with experienced professionals, and provides insight on how to successfully navigate the dangerous seas while limiting litigation risk.

Russell Weigel opens your eyes to the risks of raising capital but shows you a path to minimize these risks.

Whether private or public, companies raising capital the wrong way and not properly planning for unforeseen events can result in substantial loss. Capital for Keeps is designed to save the entrepreneur thousands of dollars in legal fees by educating them on their options and the standards of conduct expected of them to stay away from the courthouse.
