Regulation D
Regulation D (Reg D) is the most commonly used method a startup uses to obtain a private placement exemption when raising startup capital. Regulation D contains two exemptions in Rule 504 and Rule 505 and one safe harbor in Rule 506.
Using a Regulation D offering (or any other private offering) is much cheaper than selling securities via a public offering.
