David Peinsipp shared thisIncredibly excited for the next chapter for these two great organizations together!David Peinsipp shared thisWe have exciting news to share | Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) and BUILD intend to merge! BUILD will become the first organization in NFTE's family of brands, a new model for nonprofit scale that preserves what makes each organization unique while unlocking greater reach and collective impact. After 67 combined years proving that entrepreneurship education works, we are uniting to drive systemic change in education and help more young people, particularly those in under-resourced communities, thrive in a world rapidly reshaped by AI. Together, we will serve more than 350,000 students annually bringing together NFTE's global reach, educator training, and research capabilities with BUILD's relationship-centered, experiential learning model. As industries and careers continue to evolve, the entrepreneurial mindset - creativity, collaboration, adaptability, problem-solving, and opportunity recognition - is no longer optional. These are the uniquely human skills that ensure young people are prepared for the new economy and that technology can't replace.

David Peinsipp reposted thisDavid Peinsipp reposted thisI don’t think there’s any disagreement that AI is fundamentally reshaping how legal services will be delivered – and what clients expect from their counsel. Yet commentary is coming primarily from those on the outside looking in, not from within our profession. I shared my thoughts about what I believe this moment demands in this commentary for Fortune. Law firms face a choice: redesign the business of law around AI, or let the future be decided for us. https://bit.ly/3SsNPjd

David Peinsipp shared thisThe years following an #IPO often bring more governance evolution than companies initially expect. This report and discussion provide practical insight into what actually changes and why. Well worth a listen.David Peinsipp shared thisIn this audio blog, my colleagues Michael Mencher and Vince Flynn III share more takeaways from the Cooley LLP Post-IPO Governance Trends Report, including: 1. Which governance structures are most likely to evolve in the years following an initial public offering. 2. Common circumstances that lead to revisiting governance frameworks post-IPO. 3. How to use the report to inform practical corporate governance decisions. 4. What drives executive and board turnover after an IPO – and how companies can plan proactively.

David Peinsipp reposted thisDavid Peinsipp reposted thisAn initial public offering (IPO) is a gateway – and the years that follow it can be just as defining for a company as the listing itself. That’s why Cooley has created the inaugural Post-IPO Governance Trends Report, drawing on an analysis of 225+ US IPOs. The report distills how newly public companies have adapted in their early years as a public entity, offering a rare view into both common patterns and emerging challenges. Whether you’re planning for an IPO or already navigating life as a public company, this research provides the benchmarks and foresight needed to anticipate change rather than react to it.

David Peinsipp reposted thisA recent update to Corp Fin's government shutdown FAQs is good news for #capitalraising efforts while the staff is furloughed - we share more detail about it in the alert below. One technical question that #IPO teams need to consider if they remove the delaying amendment is, "When exactly does the registration statement become effective after filing?" The answer is, "when the 20th day begins" (not ends). For example, if you file a registration statement before 5:30pm ET on October 10, the registration statement would go effective when the 20th 24-hour period begins on October 29. You could move forward with pricing after 5:30pm ET that day, rather than waiting until 5:30pm ET on October 30. Interpretations continue to evolve as everyone works through the mechanics of complex rules - Team #Cooley is collaborating with deal teams to navigate novel issues and get #IPOs across the finish line.David Peinsipp reposted this📈 The Securities and Exchange Commission has opened a path to keep IPOs moving during the US government shutdown. The SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance has now updated its shutdown FAQs, offering a new path for companies aiming to go public. Under the new guidance, IPOs can move forward using a price range – even while SEC staff are unavailable to review or accelerate registration statements. This temporary workaround allows companies to remove the “delaying amendment” and rely on Rule 430A to proceed with offerings. Cooley is closely monitoring developments and helping clients navigate this evolving landscape. Get the full update on Cooley CapitalXchange: https://bit.ly/4mWbSjX

David Peinsipp shared thisDigital asset companies are no longer limited to private fundraising as their only growth lever. But with more options comes more responsibility for GCs to guide their teams and boards through #IPO readiness. Excited to join Gerald Gallagher and Rodrigo Seira on November 5 for a webinar where we’ll explore practical ways digital asset and #crypto-adjacent companies can access public markets. If you're not an The L Suite (TechGC) member and interested in attending, drop me a note I'll see what I can do.

David Peinsipp liked thisDavid Peinsipp liked thisTwo years here at Cooley LLP. I drank that world-famous Cooley Cool-Aid. What does it taste like? Culture is the most ineffable thing to describe, but it is so real. It is inadequate to string together moments that stuck with me, such as when Mike A ended an important townhall with "be good to each other," the way that somehow, someone from each office that I visited managed to find me to check in and say hi, or the ferocious levels of interoffice banter about ping pong tournaments, which I found puzzling at first (think of the email load!), but have since come to see as an endearing ritual. As the so called "AI Guy" you may be surprised to know that I consider myself a humanist first. I've always believed, and believe even more strongly in this moment, that what makes us human is more important than ever. There's nothing more human than culture. Can I describe it fully yet? No. Still drinking it in? Yes. Pictured: Up and to the right!

Against the backdrop of our new $750 billion commitment to helping Americans realize the American Dream through more affordable housing. We were honored to be part of some major announcements this week in our beloved city, including creating the Essential Housing Fund, with my fellow partners Mike Moritz and Meg Whitman, and a new 350 unit building in the Dogpatch, with our partner, Fifth Space. JPMorganChase is committed to being the bank of San Francisco and that commitment is local, national, and global. Let’s go San Francisco!

David Peinsipp liked thisI am so proud of our team at Alamar Biosciences, Inc. for delivering a strong second quarter, thanks to outstanding execution and the strength of our growing product portfolio. Our mission is to power precision proteomics to enable the earliest detection of disease.

The team is delivering on every front, and I couldn't be more excited about what lies ahead.David Peinsipp liked thisToday, we reported our second quarter 2026 financial results, with revenue of $29.4 million growing 82% year-over-year.

David Peinsipp liked thisExcited to share that I’ve been named Chief Financial Officer of Axiom Space. Building era-defining space infrastructure and pioneering the orbital economy is a complex endeavor that requires not just an audacious vision and stellar engineering talent, but the financial infrastructure, discipline, and capital strategy to match. I’m honored to take on this role and grateful to our Executive Chairman, Kam Ghaffarian, CEO, Jonathan Cirtain, and our Board of Directors for their trust in me at what I believe is exactly the right moment for this company. I’m looking forward to partnering with the exceptional leadership team here at Axiom Space during a defining chapter for the company and commercial spaceflight broadly, as well as a crucial period for maintaining U.S. human presence in low-Earth orbit and leadership in space exploration. Can’t wait for what’s ahead. 🚀🛰️David Peinsipp liked thisWe're thrilled to welcome new leaders to #TeamAxiom as we continue building the space infrastructure and technology that enables human exploration and drives the global space economy.

📢Update to my post below, the California regulators (DFPI) have now issued the form report by which VC fund managers must submit the demographic survey data they are required to collect from their portfolio company founders. Please find the reporting form here: https://lnkd.in/gG2qxpvk. ❓The DFPI has not yet uploaded the portal by which covered entities must initially register (deadline March 1st) and submit the newly issued report (deadline April 1st), but we here at Sidley Austin LLP will be sure to keep you updated. 💡Start planning now by reviewing the relevant definitions of the legislation to determine which of your entities must register and your relevant portfolio investments in 2025 to begin preparing survey transmission communications and keep abreast of the relevant updates from DFPI with respect to interpretive guidance, timing of the upload of the submission portal and other important information - check here: https://lnkd.in/gbTiNRjj #SidleyVC #SidleyInvestmentFunds #SidleyVenture

Legal Funding Journal
California Targets Litigation Funding with New Regulations California lawmakers are pursuing new oversight of the litigation funding industry. The state joins a growing list of jurisdictions seeking to regulate third-party funding practices — a significant move given California's outsized role in the U.S. legal market. Any framework adopted here could become a model for other states. #LitigationFinance #LegalFunding #litfin #LegalIndustry #ThirdPartyFunding https://lnkd.in/gPXABx7R
