Has anyone ever made a private investment into a startup? For background, I have an opportunity to invest and due to the tight timeline, not sure if I need to get compliance involved. It is in a newer industry that my fund does not invest in. Wonder if anyone has been in similar situations and what compliance could potentially do.

I have done this before and needed written compliance permission in advance. I have never seen a seed stage investment blocked, it’s really just procedural.

I have and agree with Apollo. I had to disclose and compliance had to sign off, which they did. Compliance told me they see this all the time and it’s no big deal. Note that in my case I was investing in a bar/restaurant.

Thanks! Will most likely let compliance know as a CYA but realistically how would they ever find out?

When you are long options and positive, is there a % you always sell?

I scaled into SPY calls for September on the 18th and they are up about 130%. I always cut at 50% no matter what because I don’t want to be too greedy.

Nothing has spooked me into changing my mind on the trade or I’d be out, so the decision to cut winning positions is always an internal conflict of me just wanting to get it in the boat.

Any advice on how I work on this?
