SEC Registration — Not Just Filling Out A Form!

Current legislative proposals will require venture capital firms to register with the SEC.
This means venture capital firms will have to…

… employ a Chief Compliance officer and…

… be subject to unannounced SEC examinations…

…report personal securities transactions for themselves and family members…

… hire a qualified custodian to hold funds…

… refrain from a variety of communications practices...

… maintain emails and other records for 5 years.

It's Not Just Filling Out A Form!
