“No parent should have to outlive their child.” It is a saying most of us have heard before. For parents who have to continue on after losing a child, the question becomes, how do you cope?Sedona Wan de Guzman faced challenges from the moment she was born. She arrived three months early, suffered a brain injury, spent six months in intensive care, underwent brain surgery and was eventually diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.Still, to the amazement of her doctors, nurses, and even her parents—Amy Wan and Jonar de Guzman—Sedona was making great progress.Throughout the process of finding the right treatments for their little girl, Wan and de Guzman joined support groups with other parents navigating through the same process. They quickly learned that caring for a child with special needs was hard, but for single moms, those with language barriers, or those who have to leave their child to work and tend to the needs of other loved ones, the process is much harder.Just 17 months later, Sedona developed meningitis, a type of infection that causes swelling in the brain and spinal cord. Less than 24 hours after contracting the infection, Sedona passed away on January 23, 2023.While dealing with their loss and grief, Wan and de Guzman decided to let the light from Sedona shine through them and help others.The family started a GoFundMe page to help them start The Sedona Butterfly Effect Foundation, which will help families navigate services, learn about early intervention, and more.On today's “The Word” podcast, Amy Wan and Jonar de Guzman share details of Sedona's life and why they felt the foundation is so important.If you would like to help with any aspect of the foundation you can contact Amy Wan and Jonar de Guzman on Instagram. Or you can donate to their Gofundme page here.You can read more about Sedona and her parents in a story by Laura Anaya-Morga here.

Not all are mindful of the laws that go along with private lending since some lenders base their transaction on relationships and trust. Although it all boils down to trust, being well-informed of the legal aspects of private lending will not harm anyone. In today's time, there is a practical reality that people trying to raise a small amount of capital have limited ability to be compliant with securities laws, and this is what Attorney Amy Wan delves into. Founder and CEO of Bootstrap Legal, Amy breaks down the types of rules, regulations, and securities in private lending. As she explains when an investment loan becomes security, Amy reveals that lenders are much less regulated when you lend your own money to another investor. She goes in-depth on the event when you need to have a license when making loans, the legal documents required with investors, the process she does that make legal matters and paperwork less stressful to clients, and how she has brought digital and legal to smaller investors. On the side, she shares details about her podcast show, Law and Blockchain. — Listen to the podcast here: Private Lending And The SEC with Attorney Amy Wan Syndicating, Private Lending And SEC Compliance I’d like to welcome you to this episode. I’m very grateful to have the pleasure of speaking with an attorney who happens to specialize in helping investors handling the paperwork and the filings required by the SEC, Securities Exchange Commission. My guest, http://www.amywanlaw.com/ (Amy Wan), has an impressive resume to say the least. She lives on the leading edge of the financial and legal tech world and was named one of the Ten Women to Watch in Legal Tech by the ABA Journal, that’s the American Bar Association. I’m honored and grateful to have her on the show. I have a new slogan that I actually put on a Private Lender Podcast t-shirt. The back says, “Never trust, always verify.” Nonetheless, never trust, always verify is a perfect segue into an interview with an SEC attorney. Let’s go ahead and get down to the brass tacks and let’s get to the interview with Amy Wan. — I’ve got a special treat for you. Our guest is Amy Wan, Founder and CEO of https://www.bootstraplegal.com/ (Bootstrap Legal). I am excited to have her on the show. Amy, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. Thank you for coming out and being interviewed. You deal in an area of expertise of the law that’s beyond my scope of understanding. You’re bringing it down to where people like me can participate, and I definitely want to get into that part of it. I promise we’ll keep this about 30,000 feet as much as possible and we’ll drill down when we need to because I know the law. You can go down some rabbit holes. Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you became the securities and syndication guru that you are. I actually started my career in the federal government. We were doing interesting things in DC, international trade and international regulatory affairs. When I moved back to LA, there’s not much of an international trade law industry out in LA except for import-export compliance paperwork which was very different from negotiating free trade agreements. I started over. I became general counsel of an early stage real estate crowdfunding platform at that time. The interesting thing about that crowdfunding platform is that I had to deal with two different areas of law, one on the real estate lending side and then one on the actual security side. We did private lending. We would make hard money, private money loans to folks flipping houses and then we would fractionalize those loans and turn it into a security and sell it to accredited investors through our marketplace. I spent a couple of years there and I learned the ins and outs of both of those different sides of the industry. I went on to become a partner at a boutique law firm that

In today's time, there is a practical reality that people trying to raise a small amount of capital have limited ability to be compliant with securities laws, and this is what Attorney Amy Wan delves into. Founder and CEO of Bootstrap Legal, Amy breaks down the types of rules, regulations, and securities in private lending. As she explains when an investment loan becomes security, Amy reveals that lenders are much less regulated when you lend your own money to another investor. She goes in-depth on the event when you need to have a license when making loans, the legal documents required with investors, the process she does that make legal matters and paperwork less stressful to clients, and how she has brought digital and legal to smaller investors. On the side, she shares details about her podcast show, Law and Blockchain. — Listen to the podcast here: Private Lending And The SEC with Attorney Amy Wan Syndicating, Private Lending And SEC Compliance I’d like to welcome you to this episode. I’m very grateful to have the pleasure of speaking with an attorney who happens to specialize in helping investors handling the paperwork and the filings required by the SEC, Securities Exchange Commission. My guest, http://www.amywanlaw.com/ (Amy Wan), has an impressive resume to say the least. She lives on the leading edge of the financial and legal tech world and was named one of the Ten Women to Watch in Legal Tech by the ABA Journal, that’s the American Bar Association. I’m honored and grateful to have her on the show. I have a new slogan that I actually put on a Private Lender Podcast t-shirt. The back says, “Never trust, always verify.” Nonetheless, never trust, always verify is a perfect segue into an interview with an SEC attorney. Let’s go ahead and get down to the brass tacks and let’s get to the interview with Amy Wan. — I’ve got a special treat for you. Our guest is Amy Wan, Founder and CEO of https://www.bootstraplegal.com/ (Bootstrap Legal). I am excited to have her on the show. Amy, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. Thank you for coming out and being interviewed. You deal in an area of expertise of the law that’s beyond my scope of understanding. You’re bringing it down to where people like me can participate, and I definitely want to get into that part of it. I promise we’ll keep this about 30,000 feet as much as possible and we’ll drill down when we need to because I know the law. You can go down some rabbit holes. Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you became the securities and syndication guru that you are. I actually started my career in the federal government. We were doing interesting things in DC, international trade and international regulatory affairs. When I moved back to LA, there’s not much of an international trade law industry out in LA except for import-export compliance paperwork which was very different from negotiating free trade agreements. I started over. I became general counsel of an early stage real estate crowdfunding platform at that time. The interesting thing about that crowdfunding platform is that I had to deal with two different areas of law, one on the real estate lending side and then one on the actual security side. We did private lending. We would make hard money, private money loans to folks flipping houses and then we would fractionalize those loans and turn it into a security and sell it to accredited investors through our marketplace. I spent a couple of years there and I learned the ins and outs of both of those different sides of the industry. I went on to become a partner at a boutique law firm that

Raising Other People's Money to invest in real estate is a time honored tradition. But did you know that once you have more than two investors in an investment that you technically have a syndication? Are you also aware that the Security and Exchange Commission (The "SEC") has rules regulating how you go about raising that money and the types of investors you can allow in your deals, and that if you don't follow those rules you can get into serious trouble? Now that I've made syndications sound scary, its a good time to make them more understandable and accessible with Amy Wan, the Founder & CEO of Bootstrap Legal. Amy is an attorney who specializes in real estate syndication and crowdfunding for entrepreneurs and real estate investors across the globe. Her mission is to democratize access to legal counsel and capital. Amy will help us understand what we can, and can't, say to investors, the types of investors we can allow in our deal (accredited or sophisticated), SEC rules regarding Regulation D and exceptions 506B & 506C, the types of documents needed for syndicators, and how to avoid getting into trouble with the SEC. We'll also discuss the pro's & con's of Regulation Crowdfunding and the ways it has changed raising money. If you've ever considered using Other People's Money to accelerate your investment strategy, or you're already using OPM, you'll definitely want to listen to this episode.

The Promise and Peril of Blockchain and ICOs with Amy Wan
On today’s show we welcome Amy Wan, an attorney who specializes in real estate fund syndication for entrepreneurs. Amy is based in Los Angeles, where she runs her company Bootstrap Legal. The underlying goal of the company is to democratize access to legal council by decreasing the amount of billable hours for drafting legal documents. Amy had not intended on going into law and, in fact, she was studying biology towards being a doctor or pharmacist. After going through the motions of her degree she eventually landed in USC Law School studying human rights law and later international trade law. Amy then moved to California with her husband and found a job at Patch of Land. It was here that she became interested in the idea of legal access democratization, something she would draw from with her own company. Amy’s story is both one that can inspire an individual pursuit and is also full of great illuminations on the possibilities for the future of legal work. Tune in to hear all about it! Key Points From This Episode: Why trading your time for your money is not for everyone. The legal profession’s opposition to efficiency. Different types of fund syndication. Investment crowdfunding as an online syndication and its returns. What exactly is an accredited investor and their role. Bootstrap legal and the democratization of legal aid. Just how inefficient the standard legal turnaround is on drafted documents. How Amy’s company makes the system work more efficiently. The money and time that this can save a client. Challenges that Amy faced in starting her own business. Amy’s suggested timeline for prospective capital raising. Property value, projected goals and likely capital amounts. And much more!

Subscribe to this podcast on iTunes by clicking here: http://bit.ly/ymotwitunes or on Stitcher by clicking here: http://bit.ly/ymotwstitcher. --------------------------- Following the passage of the 2012 JOBS Act, the greatest excitement in the startup finance community was on Title III, which has now been implemented by the SEC as Regulation Crowdfunding. Title IV of the Act, however, is proving to be where the real action is. The SEC’s implemented the rules for Regulation A+ on June 19. An article by Amy Wan at Crowdfund Insider provides some key statistics about offerings being conducted under the act. 105 offerings were filed, 44 of which were “qualified” by the SEC. Elio Motors raised almost $17 million earlier this year. Paul Elio joined me twice in the last year to discuss his offering, here and here. The scale of that offering suggests appropriately that Reg A+ offerings are not intended for idea-stage or seed-stage transactions. They may be best seen as a path to an early and more affordable IPO, as the shares of a company that has completed a Reg A+ offering can be listed. Seed Equity Ventures, a sponsor of our work here at GoodCrowd.info, is a FINRA-registered broker dealer providing investment banking services to early-stage companies. Founder and CEO Todd Crosland has indicated that the firm hopes to make it easier and more affordable for small companies to raise money with a Reg A+ offering. Todd notes that Seed Equity’s inside legal counsel will work with companies and their legal advisors to ensure complete and affordable regulatory compliance. The firm will help with the company’s offering materials, the closing process and “everything in between,” he says. --------------------------- Read the full GoodCrowdinfo article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/29Erjtc.
