Reg D fundraising - Series 7

If there is a better place to post this please let me know. If someone wants to fundraise for a non public company in a 506 reg d. Do they need a series 7 in all situtations. I am talking about working for the company not fundraising in terms of selling equity at a third part broker.

If so what is the typical path for someone who wants to pursue this. For instance tech firms where the person isnt going to be working at a broker, what is the norm? Thanks.
