For first-time raisers
Friends and family are where a raise starts. They're not where it has to end.
Most first-time raisers stall after friends and family because nobody shows them what comes next. Mownt walks you through reaching investors online, finding conferences that organizers describe as bringing together investors, and, on a 506(b) raise, holding each investor at the door until you mark your relationship checks complete. You run the raise.
No setup fee. CSV import and export on every plan.

You don't need a course
One place for the tools a raise needs.
If you track investors in a notebook or spreadsheet, you end up adding separate tools for reminders and email. If you use a CRM, an email campaign tool, an ads tool and an AI writing tool, they do not talk to each other. Mownt puts it all in one place with your deal page, investor list, documents and audit trail, scoped to the exemption you chose.

Checks before commits
Your checks run before anyone commits.
Before an investor can commit to your deal, Mownt checks the relationship record and the suitability answers on file. If something is missing, the commit stays blocked until it is completed, and where a check needs your attestation, you give it. Key steps are logged to your audit trail.

Investor outreach
Reach your investors.
Email your list, or run a raise where you promote your own offering publicly. Every investor must be accredited, and you must take reasonable steps to verify that before accepting their money. You run the outreach, and the verification decision is yours. Mownt scopes the tools to the exemption you chose and logs key steps.

Beyond friends and family
Friends and family are the start. Here are three ways past them.

Apply for early accessFrequently asked questions
Does Mownt find investors for me?
No. You build and run your own outreach. Mownt does not identify, introduce, contact or solicit investors. Mownt's fees do not depend on whether you raise money, how much you raise, or from whom.
Do I still need a lawyer?
Yes. Mownt is software, not a law firm. A securities attorney should help you choose your exemption, review your documents and advise on your outreach.
What is the difference between 506(b) and 506(c)?
Both are mainly used to raise from accredited investors. 506(b) also allows a limited number of non-accredited investors, with added requirements. Under 506(b) you cannot advertise or publicly promote your offering, so you generally offer it to people you already have a substantive relationship with. Under 506(c) you may promote publicly, but every investor must be accredited and you must take reasonable steps to verify it. Confirm which fits with your attorney.
How does verification work?
Under 506(c), you must take reasonable steps to verify each investor's accredited status before accepting the investment. Common methods are reviewing financial documents or getting written confirmation from a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, attorney or CPA. SEC staff guidance from March 2025 also allows a high minimum investment with written representations and no contrary knowledge. Your counsel decides what fits your offering.
