Legal & Disclosures

Nothing on the Site is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, any interest in a fund or company, or any other financial product, and nothing on the Site should be treated as the basis for an investment decision. No fund, security or investment is being offered through the Site, and the Site has no way to subscribe for one.

Any offering of securities would be made only by confidential offering documents delivered to people who are eligible to receive them, in compliance with applicable securities laws, and would be subject to the terms of those documents. Securities offered in a private offering are generally not registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 or under state securities laws, and are offered in reliance on exemptions from registration.

Information on the Site is general and for information only. It is not investment, legal, tax, accounting or other professional advice, and it does not take account of your objectives, circumstances or needs. Do not rely on it to make any decision. Consult your own qualified advisers before acting on anything you read here.

Visiting the Site, entering an access code, watching a film or contacting us does not create a client, advisory, fiduciary, agency, partnership or other special relationship between you and BlackForge. A relationship exists only if both of us sign a written agreement that says so. Please do not send confidential or sensitive information through the Site before we have agreed terms for it.

Unless we say otherwise in a separate written document, neither BlackForge Ventures, LLC nor any of its series, subsidiaries or affiliates holds itself out as, or is acting as, a broker-dealer, investment adviser, investment company, bank, lender, insurer or insurance producer or adjuster, commodity trading adviser or pool operator, municipal advisor, real estate broker or any other regulated financial or professional services provider. Nothing on the Site should be read as saying or implying that any of them is registered, licensed or authorized as one.

References to businesses or products in finance, insurance, health, real estate or investing describe software, technology or planned ventures. They are not offers of regulated services. Where a regulated activity is involved, it would be carried out only by a person that holds the registrations or licenses required for it, under separate written documents.

The Site contains statements about the future and about plans, including descriptions of products and companies that are in development, planned or in negotiation, and our expectations and intentions. These “forward-looking statements” are identified by words such as “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “aim,” “build,” “in build” or “closing,” or by their context. They reflect our current views and assumptions and are not guarantees.

Actual results and events could differ materially because of many factors, including whether and when agreements are signed or financings close; the availability and terms of capital; the performance of technology and the pace of development; regulatory, legal and tax changes; competition; the actions of customers, partners and counterparties; market, economic and industry conditions; power, supply and infrastructure constraints; cybersecurity incidents; and our ability to attract and keep people. Do not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. They speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise them, except as the law requires.

Labels such as “Signed,” “Closing round,” “In negotiation,” “Active,” “Engaged” and “In build” are our shorthand for where a relationship or project stood when the page was last updated. They are not announcements of definitive agreements, financings or launches, they are not assurances that any transaction will be completed, and they may change or become out of date without notice.

Counterparties, customers and partners are often not named because of confidentiality obligations. A description of a relationship does not mean that the other party has approved it.

Films, diagrams, dashboards, maps, interface screens, schedules and similar material on the Site, including anything marked “Illustrative,” are meant to explain an idea. They may be simulated, simplified, anonymized or built from sample data. They may show features that are planned or still in development. They do not show the data, results or clients of any real engagement unless we say so. They are not a guarantee, warranty or promise that any product, feature, timeline, price or outcome will be delivered, and real products may differ.

Figures such as acreage, parcel counts and dates are approximate, are based on our own records and estimates, are unaudited, and are as of the date shown or, if none is shown, as of the date the page was last updated. Information from third parties is believed to be reliable but has not been independently verified, and we make no representation about its accuracy or completeness.

We build and describe software that uses artificial intelligence. AI systems can produce output that is incomplete, inaccurate, biased or unsuitable for a given purpose, and they need appropriate human oversight. Descriptions of what our software does, or is designed to do, describe intended capabilities. They are not a promise about accuracy, performance, availability or results in any particular setting.

Any reference on the Site to quantitative, algorithmic or AI-driven investing describes a project in development. Nothing on the Site reports investment performance. If performance information is ever shown, hypothetical, simulated or back-tested results would not represent actual trading, and past performance would not be a guide to future results.

References to Opportunity Zones, qualified opportunity funds, qualified opportunity zone businesses, tax deferral or other tax concepts are descriptive. Whether any tax treatment applies depends on the facts and on laws and regulations that change, sometimes with retroactive effect. We do not give tax advice, we make no statement about the tax consequences of any transaction, and eligibility for any tax benefit is not assured. Talk to your own tax adviser.

The Site refers to other companies, products and people, and links to other websites. Those references are for information. Unless we say so, they do not mean that the other party endorses, sponsors or is affiliated with us, or that we endorse it. We are not responsible for third-party content or sites.

“BlackForge,” “BlackForge Ventures,” the names of BlackForge companies and products (including those shown with the ™ symbol) and our logos are trademarks or trade names of BlackForge or its affiliates. The ™ symbol means that a mark is claimed, not that it is registered. All other names, marks and logos are the property of their owners and are used only to identify them.

The Site is operated by BlackForge Ventures, LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company, whose mailing address is 108 W. 13th Street, Suite 100, Wilmington, DE 19801. Activities described on the Site may be conducted through one or more separate series, subsidiaries or affiliates, each with its own assets, liabilities and operations, and the companies and products shown on the Site may be owned by, licensed to or operated together with other entities, including partners. “BlackForge,” “we,” “us” and “our” are used for convenience and do not mean that these entities are one legal person or are liable for one another’s obligations.

The Site is directed to people in the United States. It is not intended for distribution to, or use by, anyone in a place where that would be unlawful or would require us to register or be licensed there. If you access the Site from elsewhere, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for following local law.

Areas opened with an access code, and pages shared by link, are confidential and subject to the confidentiality terms in our Terms and Conditions. They are provided only to the person invited, for evaluation, and must not be copied or passed on.
