What to Watch for With Venture Capital Asset Protection in Georgia

Check the State Adviser Filing
Georgia’s adviser summary describes a six-client threshold for advisers without a place-of-business condition stated in the rule summary. Track Georgia clients and state status as the fund raises or adds advisory relationships. Confirm the regulator-facing status of the adviser entity; do not assume SEC exempt-reporting treatment settles it. ^2,¹
Map Each Fund and Manager Entity
Georgia’s stated de minimis threshold turns on client count; have the adviser document its Georgia client count and whether another exemption applies. Give the broker the fund, GP, adviser and management-company chart, then ask how the policy coordinates with each entity’s indemnification obligations under its governing documents and organizing law. ^3,¹
Match the Policy to Fund Work
Track the Georgia client count as new investors or advisory relationships are added. Ask for a written schedule of funds, management entities, partner board seats and covered professional services; the product label does not establish those terms. ^1,²
