−Removed: Forward-Looking statements
−Removed: This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.
−Removed: These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions.
−Removed: Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
−Removed: The forward-looking statements contained in this annual report on Form 10-K involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, statements as to:
−Removed: • the effect and consequences of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) public health crisis on matters including global, U.S.
−Removed: and local economies, our business operations and continuity, potential disruption to our portfolio companies, tightened availability to capital and financing, the health and productivity of our employees, the ability of third-party providers to continue uninterrupted service, and the regulatory environment in which we operate;
−Removed: • our future operating results;
−Removed: • our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
−Removed: • the impact of investments that we expect to make;
−Removed: • our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

−Removed: • our expected financings and investments;
−Removed: • the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;
−Removed: • the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.
−Removed: These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
−Removed: • an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;
−Removed: • an economic downturn could disproportionately impact the market sectors in which a significant portion of our portfolio is concentrated, causing us to suffer losses in our portfolio;
−Removed: • a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our investment activities;
−Removed: • interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly because we use leverage as part of our investment strategy;
−Removed: • the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, our annual report on Form 10-K, and in our other filings with the SEC.
−Removed: Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate.
−Removed: Important assumptions include our ability to originate new investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital.
−Removed: In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this annual report on Form 10-K should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved.
−Removed: These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K, in the “Risk Factors” sections.
−Removed: You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K.
−Removed: The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.
−Removed: We are an internally-managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
−Removed: Our investment objective is to maximize our portfolio’s total return, principally by seeking capital gains on our equity and equity-related investments, and to a lesser extent, income from debt investments.
−Removed: We invest principally in the equity securities of what we believe to be rapidly growing venture-capital-backed emerging companies.
−Removed: We acquire our investments through direct investments in prospective portfolio companies, secondary marketplaces for private companies and negotiations with selling stockholders.
−Removed: In addition, we may invest in private credit and in the founders equity, founders warrants, forward purchase agreements, and private investment in public equity ("PIPE") transactions of special purpose acquisition companies ("SPACs").
−Removed: We may also invest on an opportunistic basis in select publicly traded equity securities or certain non-U.S.
−Removed: companies that otherwise meet our investment criteria, subject to applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.
−Removed: To the extent we make investments in private equity funds and hedge funds that are excluded from the definition of “investment company” under the 1940 Act by Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, we will limit such investments to no more than 15% of our net assets.
−Removed: In regard to the regulatory requirements for BDCs under the 1940 Act, some of these investments may not qualify as investments in “eligible portfolio companies,” and thus may not be considered “qualifying assets.” “Eligible portfolio companies” generally include U.S.

+Added: portfolio companies,” and thus may not be considered “qualifying assets.” “Eligible portfolio companies”
+Added: generally include U.S.
companies that are not investment companies and that do not have securities listed on a national exchange.
−Removed: If at any time less than 70% of our gross assets are comprised of qualifying assets, including as a result of an increase in the value of any non-qualifying assets or decrease in the value of any qualifying assets, we would generally not be permitted to acquire any additional non-qualifying assets until such time as 70% of our then-current gross assets were comprised of qualifying assets.
−Removed: We would not be required, however, to dispose of any non-qualifying assets in such circumstances.
−Removed: Our investment philosophy is based on a disciplined approach of identifying promising investments in high-growth, venture-backed companies across several key industry themes which may include, among others, social mobile, cloud computing and big data, internet commerce, financial technology, mobility, and enterprise software.
−Removed: Our investment decisions are based on a disciplined analysis of available information regarding each potential portfolio company’s business operations, focusing on the portfolio company’s growth potential, the quality of recurring revenues, and path to profitability, as well as an understanding of key market fundamentals.
−Removed: Venture capital funds or other institutional investors have invested in the vast majority of companies that we evaluate.
−Removed: We seek to deploy capital primarily in the form of non-controlling equity and equity-related investments, including common stock, warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into a portfolio company’s common equity, and convertible debt securities with a significant equity component.
−Removed: Typically, our preferred stock investments are non-income producing, have different voting rights than our common stock investments and are generally convertible into common stock at our discretion.
−Removed: As our investment strategy is primarily focused on equity positions, our investments generally do not produce current income and therefore we may be dependent on future capital raising to meet our operating needs if no other source of liquidity is available.
−Removed: We seek to create a low-turnover portfolio that includes investments in companies representing a broad range of investment themes.
−Removed: Internalization of Operating Structure
−Removed: On and effective March 12, 2019 (the "Effective Date"), our Board of Directors approved internalizing our operating structure ("Internalization") and we began operating as an internally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.
−Removed: Our Board of Directors approved the Internalization in order to better align the interests of the Company's stockholders with its management.
−Removed: As an internally managed BDC, the Company is managed by its employees, rather than the employees of an external investment adviser, thereby allowing for greater transparency to stockholders through robust disclosure regarding the Company's compensation structure.
−Removed: Prior to the Effective Date, we were externally managed by our former investment adviser, GSV Asset Management, LLC (“GSV Asset Management”), pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), and our former administrator, GSV Capital Service Company, LLC (“GSV Capital Service Company”), provided the administrative services necessary for our operations pursuant to an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”).
−Removed: In connection with our Internalization, the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement were terminated as of the Effective Date, in accordance with their respective terms.
−Removed: As a result, we no longer pay any fees or expenses under an investment advisory agreement or administration agreement, and instead pay the operating costs associated with employing investment management professionals including, without limitation, compensation expenses related to salaries, discretionary bonuses and restricted stock grants.
−Removed: See “Part II, Item 8, Note 3—Related Party Arrangements” and “Part II, Item 8, Note 11—Stock-Based Compensation” in this Form 10-K for more information.
−Removed: Except as otherwise disclosed herein, this Form 10-K discusses our business and operations as an internally-managed BDC during the period covered by this Form 10-K.
−Removed: Recent COVID-19 Developments
−Removed: In March 2020, the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
−Removed: As of the year ended December 31, 2021, and subsequent to December 31, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the U.S.
−Removed: and global economy.
−Removed: We have and continue to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our portfolio companies.
−Removed: We cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its duration in the United States and worldwide, the effectiveness of governmental responses designed to mitigate strain to businesses and the economy, and the magnitude of the economic impact of the outbreak, including with respect to the travel restrictions, business closures and other quarantine measures imposed on service providers and other individuals by various local, state, and federal governmental authorities, as well as non-U.S.
−Removed: governmental authorities.
−Removed: As such, we are unable to predict the duration of any business and supply-chain disruptions, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our portfolio companies’ operating results or the impact that such disruptions may have on our results of operations and financial condition.
−Removed: Our portfolio companies and, by extension, our operating results may be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and, depending on the duration and extent of the disruption to the operations of our portfolio companies, certain portfolio companies may experience financial distress and may possibly default on their financial obligations to us and their other capital providers.
−Removed: Any of these developments would likely result in a decrease in the value of our investment in any such portfolio company.
−Removed: In addition, to the extent that the impact to our portfolio companies results in reduced interest payments or permanent impairments on our investments, we could see a decrease in our net investment income, which would increase the percentage of our cash flows dedicated to our debt obligations and could impact the amount of any future distributions to our stockholders.
−Removed: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we instituted a temporary work-from-home policy in March 2020, pursuant to which our employees primarily worked remotely without disruption to our operations.
−Removed: This policy was amended in February 2022 when it was deemed safe to return to our offices.
−Removed: As of March 10, 2022, there is no indication of a reportable subsequent event impacting the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
−Removed: The Company continues to observe and respond to the evolving COVID-19 environment and its potential impact on areas across its business.
−Removed: Portfolio and Investment Activity
−Removed: Year Ended December 31, 2021
−Removed: The value of our investment portfolio will change over time due to changes in the fair value of our underlying investments, as well as changes in the composition of our portfolio resulting from purchases of new and follow-on investments and the sales of existing investments.
−Removed: The fair value, as of December 31, 2021, of all of our portfolio investments was $260,136,253.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2021, we funded investments in an aggregate amount of $81,668,146 (not including capitalized transaction costs) as shown in the following table:
−Removed: Portfolio Company Investment Transaction Date Gross Payments
+Added: at any time less than 70% of our gross assets are comprised of qualifying assets, including as a result of an increase in the value of
