Where do i verify who is a verified dealer or broker? I have people who are willing to invest but the don't want to lead the round. I need someone to lead the round.

You can see if someone is a broker-dealer at this website: brokercheck.finra.org/ You don't need a broker-dealer to lead the round. The lead can be any significant investor who is willing to do it. Generally they would be taking at least 20% of the round, but sometimes leads will take less. Until you have a lead, capture and track your soft commitments. You can go back to those people once you have the lead in place.
