📅 What's on the Agenda
The SEC's Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee is gearing up for a crucial meeting on February 25, 2025. The spotlight will be on two major topics: the hurdles faced by emerging fund managers and the challenges small public companies encounter when they're not listed on a national securities exchange. The meeting will be live-streamed for public viewing on the SEC's website.
📊 Deep Dive into Data
Kicking off the morning session, the committee will get insights from the SEC Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation. They'll present their 2024 Annual Report, packed with in-depth data on capital raising—from startups to small caps—and policy recommendations. Expect a thorough analysis that sets the stage for the day's discussions.
🏢 Expert Insights
To tackle the challenges head-on, the committee will hear from industry experts. Ashok Kamal, Executive Director at NuFund Venture Group, and Sara Zulkosky, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Recast Capital, will share their experiences and insights on supporting emerging fund managers. Their perspectives will be crucial in shaping the committee's recommendations.
🏛️ Afternoon Focus
The afternoon session shifts to small public companies not listed on a national securities exchange. These companies face unique obstacles in accessing capital and attracting investors. Dan Zinn, General Counsel and Chief of Staff at OTC Markets Group, will provide valuable input to help the committee understand these challenges and develop strategies to support these businesses.
