An Exciting Opportunity

This morning, as is my habit, I sifted through overnight email while enjoying the friendly hospitality of the Washington State Ferry system. And this morning, as is customary, the overnight email contained a fair number of messages which might be fairly described as spam. But one particular message caught my eye. It was an Indiegogo announcement about a Virginia-based distillery that was soliciting investment.

I've written on this topic multiple times – I am a securities lawyer by training, after all – but the message (the fact that it arrived, not the specifics of its content) prompted me to think that a reminder of a few key points were probably worthwhile. So with that as background let me throw out a couple of quick considerations for anyone who might be considering bringing investors into their empire of hooch.
