These investments would be exempt from registration under the 1933 SEC Act. There is a reason the SEC exists.

Next Wednesday we’ll have Dana Settle of Greycroft Partners, a New York / LA early-stage venture capital fund. What are “Reg D” filings with the SEC and why does this make it harder to stay in stealth mode? Invidi is based in New York and founded in 2000. They also avoid Reg D.
