Newsletter, MintzTech Connect

We lead off this Tech Connect with an article about a federal court blocking the FTC’s efforts to limit non-competition restrictions. It’s a huge blow to the FTC’s efforts, but this issue will need to wind its way through the court system before there is a clear resolution. We follow with a terrific article regarding issues that foreign companies must be mindful of as they expand into the US. Lastly, our company spotlight is on an interesting new enterprise called GUDEA. GUDEA is a pioneering technology company revolutionizing how digital narratives are understood and managed.

One of the challenges facing venture capital firms is how to handle investments in portfolio companies prior to the initial close (“Initial Close”) of a new fund (“New Fund”). Typically, the investment advisor (“VC Advisor”), or a person wholly owned or controlled by the VC Advisor, will make such investment, “warehouse” it, and then transfer such investment to the New Fund promptly after the Initial Close.  This strategy has been very effective for many fund managers as it enables them to commence the creation of a diversified portfolio of interesting companies for its future limited partners prior to the time of the Initial Close.  While this is an effective strategy for fund raising purposes, VC Advisors should be aware of some of the pitfalls with warehousing investments.
