Choosing the Regulatory Environment

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

As angel networks expand across the globe, those groups outside the U.S. should also consider their local regulatory environment before launching an angel network.

Here are some points to consider:

1. Is there a legal environment that allows for investment structures for venture funding?
2. Are there any restrictions on the number of investors, ownership, or exiting the business?
3. Do the local laws protect the investor as well as the startup?
4. What are the bankruptcy laws and how do they treat debtors and lenders?
5. What are the tax laws and how do they impact angel investors?
6. Are there protections for intellectual property and its holders?
7. What are the laws around hiring and firing employees? 
8. Can employees own shares and options legally, and if so, what is their tax treatment?
9. Can the business bring in workers from outside the country?

While these issues are clear in the U.S. and for the most part foster angel investing, other countries have not yet built out their regulatory environment to foster it.


Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Let’s go startup something today.

On this episode of Investor Connect, Hall welcomes Eric Stegemann, Managing Partner at TRIBUS Capital.

Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, TRIBUS Capital provides advisory services and investment in early-stage proptech companies. The fund looks to leverage the network effect of the TRIBUS portfolio which has relationships with nearly 100,000 realtors across the United States and Canada. Current TRIBUS capital portfolio companies include mortgage and real estate lead gen, chatbots, client data systems, MLS software vendors, and brokerage software companies. 

Eric brings over 20 years of brokerage and proptech experience and expertise to his role as Managing Partner of TRIBUS Capital. Having become a realtor before reaching the age of 20, Eric grew passionate about an industry where responsibility and hard work were rewarded. After selling for a large brand brokerage, he started his own brokerage which quickly grew to the largest independent in St. Louis within 20 months. Within six years, he received an offer to purchase the brokerage while retaining all of the technology developed. Using this technology, he started TRIBUS. Eric is regarded as one of the brightest minds in the real estate technology realm and has spoken at a variety of real estate events, such as Inman Connect in New York and San Francisco, the NAR Annual Conference, and numerous state and local board meetings.

Eric advises entrepreneurs and investors, discusses some of the challenges they face, and mentions some of the companies he has invested in.
