Questions About GC Venture VIII-B, LLC
Each answer is built from the values on the SEC filing and the AltStreet ledger, not from the issuer's marketing.
What is GC Venture VIII-B, LLC?
GC Venture VIII-B, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company that filed a Form D with the SEC on September 19, 2019 as a venture capital fund. The filing claims Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(1), Section 3(c)(7) for an offering of pooled investment fund interests.
Is GC Venture VIII-B, LLC legit?
AltStreet does not rate legitimacy; it reports the public record. GC Venture VIII-B, LLC filed a Form D with the SEC on September 19, 2019 claiming Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(1), Section 3(c)(7). A Form D is a notice of an exempt offering, not a review or approval of it. The newest notice reports $95,000,000 sold to 13 investors. AltStreet's enforcement record (SEC, FINRA and state actions) shows no action naming the issuer as of today. Before investing, confirm the filing on EDGAR, check the seller's registration on FINRA BrokerCheck, and read the offering documents, which a Form D does not include.
Is GC Venture VIII-B, LLC registered with or approved by the SEC?
