Earlier this week, the SEC announced the publication of its report to Congress summarizing policy recommendations made during the SEC’s 44th Annual Small Business Forum – which covered:

– Early-stage capital raising

– Growth-stage companies and smaller funds

– Small cap companies and the public markets

The SEC’s Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation hosted the Forum back in April. This year, our very own Dave Lynn participated as a panelist – he shared reflections a few months ago from his panel on the challenges of going and being public.

The report itself summarizes each discussion and shares the top 5 recommendations for each of the highlighted lifecycle segments – along with the Commission’s response. The SEC will consider Forum recommendations for future policy initiatives.

Video archives and a transcript of the discussions are available online.
