Raising Capital Question

[Jonathan Orr]

Hello, I am looking to put together a Memorandum for raising capital from Friends and Family.  In the past I have partnered with other people to raise the capital and they have been much larger offerings than what I want to do on my own.  I feel a friends and family raise would help me start some new projects and start utilizing my own network.

I am wondering if anyone can give me a crash course on what I would need to do and some of the boundaries I have to follow.  

In other raises, they have been Reg D offerings to outside and Accredited investors.  I have the memorandums to go off of for those but they are like 100 pages, I like the material and the documentation but seems excessive. Do I still need to have a Reg D offering to raise capital from family and friends?  Additionally I don't want to be limited to Accredited Investors only.  Most of the friends and family are non-accredited, so how would i have to change something?

Any tips or leads to information on this would be helpful.
