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?

How much work, if any, do you take home with you?

Currently have the FRM title.
I failed CFA level 3 once.

I'm hoping to eventually do CAIA, but only after I'm done with CFA. I'm also hoping to do non-financial certifications, like Certified analytics professional (CAP), and learn about web development.

While I may have the title of manager, I am still an individual contributor. The type of work I do involves quantitative analysis/data analysis/science.

Any suggestions as to what I should start with?
