Regulation D

Regulation D (Reg D) is a set of SEC rules that provides common exemptions from registration for private offerings, most notably Rules 504, 506(b), and 506(c), which set conditions around investor type, solicitation, and disclosures. In venture financings, Regulation D (especially Rule 506(b)) is the standard exemption path, and Regulation D compliance includes Form D filings and resale restrictions.
