Seth Rosenbloom shared thisI'm honored to join an amazing group of leaders across NYC as part of the Partnership for New York City's 2026 class of David Rockefeller Fellows.

Seth Rosenbloom reposted thisSeth Rosenbloom reposted thisToday, we sent a letter from over 80 CEOs across industries urging President Trump to support open banking and oppose anticompetitive fees on consumer data access set to take effect in September. We are asking the President to prevent the nation’s largest banks from imposing exorbitant fees that would block consumers from connecting their accounts to the financial products of their choice. These fees undermine U.S. leadership in financial services, stifle innovation, and limit competition and choice. Our coalition includes innovative #banks, #fintechs, #crypto companies, #credit access firms, #startups, #retailers, and Main Street businesses that depend on #openbanking connectivity to serve their customers.

Seth Rosenbloom liked thisI know I am about three weeks late to share this, but it has taken me a little time to come up for air and properly take it in. There is still plenty of work to go before everything is fully wrapped up, but I wanted to take a moment to celebrate this milestone. Three weeks ago Stegra agreed in principle on €1.4 billion in new capital from new and existing investors to complete construction and commissioning of our green steel plant in Boden. The financing is led by Wallenberg Investments, who through this transaction will take a leading ownership position in the company. Their financial strength and industrial expertise further strengthen Stegra’s Swedish anchoring, and their confidence in our business model means a great deal. I will be honest. This has been one of the hardest things I have ever worked on from so many perspectives. The financing was complex, the moving pieces were endless, the nights were long and there were plenty of moments when the finish line felt very far away. But, at the same time, it has also been one of the most rewarding work of my career. Deals like this do not get done by any one person. This was a true team effort across so many people, inside and outside Stegra, who simply refused to give up and let it slip. I want to say a particular and heartfelt thank you to my legal team. You pushed through when things were at their toughest and you delivered far beyond any reasonable expectation. This quite genuinely would not have happened without you.Seth Rosenbloom liked thisToday is a very good day - Stegra is announcing a €1.4 billion financing round! We have agreed in principle, on €1.4 billion in new capital from both new and existing investors for our large-scale green steel plant in Boden, Sweden. The support from investors and lenders, pending final documentation, provides the funding we need to complete construction and commissioning of our plant, and it is a strong vote of confidence in our business model. The financing is led by Wallenberg Investment, which has formed a consortium that, through this transaction, will take a leading ownership position in the company. Wallenberg Investments brings not only financial strength but also substantial industrial expertise. Their involvement further strengthens Stegra’s Swedish anchoring.

Seth Rosenbloom reacted on thisSeth Rosenbloom reacted on thisAfter five and a half remarkable years, Friday was my last day as Chief Legal and Corporate Affairs Officer at Remitly. When I joined in December 2020, Remitly was a high-growth private company serving roughly 1.7 million customers. What followed was one of the most demanding and rewarding stretches of my career: a NASDAQ IPO that gave us enough working capital to keep growing through cryptowinter, expansion to 5,200+ sending corridors, customer growth to nearly 9 million active users, and revenue scaling from ~$257 million to over $1.6 billion — all while building the legal, compliance, regulatory, government affairs, and corporate affairs functions to match. Leaving is bittersweet — but it’s the right time, and I’m leaving with the confidence that the team is in extraordinary hands as my direct reports Cameron Cohen and Spyro Karetsos step up to report directly to our new CEO Sebastian J Gunningham and lead Remitly into the future. As for what I plan to do next - the answer, in the immortal words of Zendaya, is: nothing. I’ll be taking the summer to wake up when I want, walk in the sunshine, run some OKRs on my kid and read some of the excellent new sci-fi novels that have been released in the last 20 years. I might also learn MahJong. After that we’ll see, but I reckon that 4 months is about the limit of my ability to tolerate nothingness, so I’ll probably be back looking for Type 2 fun again in the fall. Most likely roles where legal, strategic, and operational leadership converge. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. To my Remitly colleagues: it was a true pleasure to serve alongside you. To the global workers and voyagers that Remitly serves every day — your story was my north star and will always be a key point in my sky. To Matt Oppenheimer, words would never be enough, so I'll just say that it's been an immeasurable honor. More to come. 🌎

Seth Rosenbloom liked thisReally excited to announce Advanced Account Security. As ChatGPT becomes an increasingly important part of people's lives, we believe that it's critical to offer powerful security and privacy tools that enable people to choose how to protect their accounts. Major congrats to Ogbeide Derrick Oigiagbe Nicolas Backal Fatemeh Alavizadeh and the Identity team on today's launch!Seth Rosenbloom liked thisWe’re making Advanced Account Security available for ChatGPT accounts—a new opt-in setting designed for people at higher risk of digital attacks, as well as anyone who wants the strongest account protections available. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in our lives, it is more important than ever to ensure that users have the security and privacy choices that are right for them. Advanced Account Security brings stronger protections together in one place, including phishing-resistant sign-in, more secure account recovery, shorter sessions, clearer session management, and automatic training exclusion. Once enabled, these protections apply to ChatGPT and Codex accounts accessed through that login. Advanced Account Security is available starting today in the Security section of ChatGPT settings on the web. https://lnkd.in/gREXGJBt

🚀 The SEC and CFTC just signed a new MOU on regulatory harmonization, and looks like much more than a good press release. tl;dr the agencies are committing to joint rulemakings, coordinated exams, shared data and a "minimum effective dose" regulatory philosophy. Why does this matter? The US is the only major capital market that splits financial regulation between two agencies. After decades of duplicative registrations & conflicting rules we now have a Joint Harmonization Initiative with dedicated staff from both agencies to actually fix it. The guiding principles are where the real signal is. The MOU explicitly commits both agencies to "reject a turf war mentality" and states that they "jointly recognize the foundational importance of fair notice to market participants and not regulating through enforcement." That second part is doing a LOT of work. On crypto specifically, the agencies commit to "closely coordinating and cooperating to remove obstacles" to lawful introduction of novel derivative and crypto asset products. That's the industry unlock: not "we won't block things" but "we'll work to clear the path." Combined w/ the fit-for-purpose framework language, this is the clearest joint signal yet on crypto regulatory posture. The MOU also opens the door to "alternative compliance frameworks" and "appropriately tailored and regulated 'super-apps'" — for anyone watching the M&A trends toward full-stack tradfi + crypto platforms, this is the regulatory infrastructure they need. The operational commitments matter too. For dually registered firms (broker-dealers that are also FCMs, RIAs that are also CPOs) the agencies commit to joint exam planning, shared findings and harmonized risk assessments. On enforcement, they'll consult at the outset of any investigation w/ overlapping jurisdiction and coordinate before issuing Wells notices. Less duplication, fewer conflicting obligations. I've mentioned before that strong coordination between the CFTC and SEC is a massive unlock, not just for crypto but for every firm that touches both securities and derivatives. This MOU puts the philosophy in writing w/ actual coordination mechanisms behind it. Chairs Selig and Atkins deserve a ton of credit for enabling this. Now comes execution.

Pt 2: Building Legal from scratch with NO BUDGET for LegalOps? Ask Engineering or Ops how they manage their workflows - and COPY 😺. Engineering/Operations push multiple deliverables each week, have multiple stakeholders with multiple requirements and have multiple competing deadlines. Do you need a better "precedent"? 😏 Across various businesses, I have copied the way engineering/operations teams manage workflows using tools like Asana, Notion and Jira. They all basically "do the job" for managing legal workflows because: 🙊 They centralise all internal correspondence about a legal matter onto one task ticket. Get off siloed inboxes and Slack DMs - you need to start building team resilience, where anyone can pick up where you've left off. Centralised correspondence is also important for creating accountability; everyone can see where the hold up is. 🙈 They provide the ability to view tasks on a kanban board - a super easy snapshot of where things are sitting. 🙉 They provide some reporting (probably not all the reporting you need without upgrading to premium packages, but enough to show where contracts are stuck in the pipeline). ...and you won't need to make a case for budget... ...but the biggest win here is that by using “their” tools, you immediately start speaking their language, you’re one of “them”, focussed on delivery and the same business objectives 🚀 . Yes, this isn't perfect and I'm aware there are a host of full end-to-end legal management tools. But if you're in a fast-paced environment (where if growth goes as well as you expect, you'll likely need to overhaul processes in 6 months anyway!) start here as your core, and you'll be amazed with what you can start to add on 💡. Also - if you’re unsure how to use these tools, I’m sure you can use those law school negotiation skills to convince someone in the business to create this for you 😉. In the past I’ve traded free divorce advice, a game of Connect 4 and even sat through a software engineer demo-ing their latest 8-sided Rubik’s cube, to land a ready-made legal workflow board, complete with reporting dashboards and an integration to Hubspot 🥳 .

A NIS 200 million lawsuit filed by Raftt shareholders against Wiz highlights significant risks in the "Acquihire" model, underscoring the complexities of modern tech acquisitions. The allegations are serious: investors claim that Wiz and the founders orchestrated a "phantom deal," transferring the team and intellectual property without involving the Cap Table, effectively sidestepping traditional acquisition protocols. The claim argues that the technology behind "Wiz Code" was essentially stolen from early-stage backers who funded Raftt's development. For managers and representatives of Early-Stage Funds, this case serves as a crucial lesson in the importance of deal structure and governance from the outset. 3 Key Lessons for Seed & Series A Investors: 1️⃣ Expand "Deemed Liquidation" Clauses: Documents should trigger liquidation preferences for substantial asset sales, exclusive IP licensing, or coordinated team transfers. If the value leaves the entity, investors must be protected. 2️⃣ Lock Down IP Assignment: Ensure ironclad IP ownership and prevent side-agreements that allow founders to walk away with core technology. Disputed patents can become a multi-million-dollar liability years later. 3️⃣ Mandatory Veto Rights (Protective Provisions): Investors must hold a clear veto right over a majority of liquidation events, mergers, or asset sales. Without this "seat at the table," a majority of common shareholders could approve a move that guts the company's value before it's known. The Bottom Line: Robust legal frameworks are essential not to hinder founders but to ensure fair treatment for initial risk-takers and safeguard the integrity of the entire venture capital ecosystem.

📢 Attention Venture Capital Fund Managers: New California Transparency & Reporting Law You Must Know - Deadlines Looming! 📊 California has ushered in a first-of-its-kind transparency regime that will meaningfully impact VC firms with a nexus to the state — no matter where you’re headquartered. Under the Fair Investment Practices by Venture Capital Companies Act, covered entities must register and report demographic data on the founding teams of companies in which they invested during 2025 - beginning this year. 🔎 Here’s what VC firms need to know (high-level): ✅ Who is covered? Any "venture capital company" that 1) primarily invests in or finances early-stage or growth companies and 2) has a CA nexus — including: • Headquarters or significant presence in CA. • Investments in CA-based companies or companies with significant operations in CA. • Solicits or accepts investment from CA residents/account holders. 📅 Key deadlines: • March 1, 2026: Register with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) as a covered entity. • April 1, 2026: First annual demographic report due, covering 2025 investments. 📊 What must be reported? • Aggregated, anonymized demographic data voluntarily provided by founders (gender identity, race/ethnicity, disability status, veteran/LGBTQ+ status, CA residency). • Numbers and dollar amounts of investments in companies primarily founded by diverse teams. • Principal place of business for companies. 📋 Covered entities must distribute the standardized DFPI survey to founding teams to collect this information and incorporate it into their annual report. ⚠️ Why this matters: This requirement extends beyond traditional Silicon Valley firms. Even funds without a physical CA office may be caught if they have a CA investor or portfolio company. Non-compliance could expose firms to enforcement actions and penalties. ⚠️ What DFPI Still Needs to Clarify or Finalize Despite the statutory framework, material implementation details are still evolving, including: • Final reporting format and submission mechanics • How DFPI will interpret “CA nexus” in edge cases • Treatment of complex fund structures, SPVs, and parallel vehicles • Data validation, audit expectations, and record-retention standards • Enforcement posture and penalty framework for non-compliance • How updates or corrections to prior-year reports will be handled In short: the obligations are real, but the operational playbook is still being built, but funds that wait until guidance is finalized may find themselves compressed on timing. 🔗 Learn more and access official DFPI resources: 👉 DFPI VCC Reporting Program: https://lnkd.in/gHRxvwHP 👉 DFPI Survey: https://lnkd.in/gV_Bh2vM 💬 Be sure to discuss how this impacts your firm’s compliance and reporting strategy with your friendly neighborhood fund counsel.

NDA Starter Pack – Market Standard Positions for First-Time Reviewers For many young lawyers or first-time in-house counsels at SaaS/tech companies, the NDA is often the first contract you’ll be asked to review. Here’s what you may want to look for (from a Provider’s POV): -Purpose Keep it narrow: “evaluation of a potential business opportunity(MSA should supercede)” or reference the specific RFP/project. ***The MSA should ultimately supersede the NDA. - Effective Date & Prior Disclosures Confidentiality obligations should begin from the Effective Date of the NDA. ***Exclude information disclosed before signing. - Definition of Confidential Information ***Limit to information that is marked or designated as confidential, or confirmed in writing within a set period (e.g., 10 days for oral disclosures). - Exclusions to Confidentiality Market standard: (a) Already known without restriction (b) Independently developed (c) Publicly available (d) Rightfully received from a third party ***Extend these exclusions to the Provider and its Representatives (employees, contractors, advisors, affiliates). Use of Confidential Information Confidential Information should only be used for the Purpose. ***Allow access by Representatives, but only if: They “need to know” the information, and They are bound by confidentiality obligations. Mandatory Legal Disclosure Disclosure (including by Representatives) should only be permitted where required by: Applicable law, regulation, rule, subpoena, or other valid legal process, including the requirements of any governmental, regulatory, self-regulatory, or supervisory authority having jurisdiction. With prior written notice to the disclosing party (where legally permissible). Term & Survival NDA term: typically 1–3 years. Survival of confidentiality obligations: 2–5 years post-disclosure. ***NDA should terminate once the MSA is signed, since the MSA will carry its own confidentiality obligations. Return or Destruction of Information Standard practice: destroy or return information at termination/expiry. ***Allow carve-outs for archival backups and compliance obligations. Fellow counsels — what’s the one NDA clause you always redline as a SaaS provider? #NDAs #Contracts #SaaS #InHouseCounsel #YoungLawyers #ContractReview #Negotiation

Hot off the press — today the SEC & CFTC took a meaningful step toward providing clarity to the crypto market, publishing a new interpretation on how U.S. securities laws apply to crypto assets (Release No. 33-11412). A few takeaways that stood out: • Provides updated interpretation of what constitutes a “security” in the context of crypto assets and related transactions • Most crypto assets are not securities by default • Regulation depends on how an asset is used -specifically when they become subject to an investment contract • A non-security crypto asset can become — and cease to be — part of an investment contract over time as networks evolve • Introduces a clearer taxonomy (commodities, stablecoins, digital securities, etc.), helping define the regulatory perimeter and which regulator applies (e.g. SEC vs CFTC) • The guidance touches core mechanics like staking, airdrops, mining, and wrapping, including when these may (or may not) involve securities transactions The shift here is subtle but important: the focus is moving from what a token is to how it’s used — and acknowledging that this isn’t static. This feels like a move toward a more practical, lifecycle-based approach, and away from the ambiguity the industry has been operating in for years. Full release: https://lnkd.in/em8WnXby

💸 Litigation funding is broken. Most clients get crushed by outrageous rates—sometimes as high as 200% annually. That forces firms to settle early, leaving money on the table and clients frustrated. Enter Claim Angel: think Uber for litigation funding. Instead of one-off funders charging sky-high rates, it’s a marketplace connecting PI firms with 27+ funders at a standardized, fair rate. That means: ✅ More leverage to fight for full policy limits ✅ Better outcomes for your clients ✅ No more highway robbery in funding 🎙️ On this week’s Grow Your Law Firm Podcast, Ken sits down with Jeremy Alters, founder of Claim Angel, to unpack how this model is changing the game for firms and clients alike. 👉 Listen in to learn how to fund cases smarter: https://apple.co/3hupLd4

While some of the measures are aimed at refining recently adopted laws, some of the bills would regulate the technology in entirely new ways.” https://lnkd.in/e8TXqE_s

The legal tech world is debating the wrong metrics. Last week's discussion about Harvey's user numbers and utilization rates perfectly illustrates the problem - we're measuring vendor success, not client value. Law firm tech tracks billable hours, seat licenses, and utilization rates. But in-house teams need completely different metrics. We need to know how much we reduced outside counsel spend, how fast we can turn around contracts, and what capacity we created for strategic work. At Coherent, we've achieved a 78% reduction in contract review time. We're on track for 50%+ reduction in outside counsel dependency and have eliminated 30% of manual tasks, freeing our team for higher-value work. Unless we require accountability to the metrics that matter for us, tech built for law firms will never measure what matters to in-house teams. In-house teams need tech built specifically for in-house priorities. We need vendors (including law firms) who measure what actually matters to the business. And we need radical transparency about real outcomes, not vanity metrics. To my fellow CLOs - Start demanding the metrics that matter. Ask your vendors how their AI creates efficiency gains, not how many licenses they've sold. The conversation needs to shift from vendor success to customer value. Until then, we're having the wrong conversation about legal technology. I explore this further in my latest piece for Legal IT Insider--> https://lnkd.in/eieDEgvM

Somewhere right now, a law firm is billing $1,000 for a board consent. AI did my last one in 15 seconds. The method isn't complicated: take a high-quality precedent from a previous deal, feed it into the AI, ask it to redraft for the new facts in the same style. The output is consistent and it inherits all the drafting choices you'd already signed off on. Yes, there's risk. I'm not a Delaware corporate specialist. But for this routine action, the risk in context was effectively nil. I was documenting something that was happening either way. It just needed a paper trail. The risk I'm actually managing is outside counsel spend where return on every dollar I spend really matters. Outside counsel earns its fee on three things: expertise, capacity, and insurance. If a piece of work is none of those, if it's just paper, you're paying for unnecessary comfort. Y Combinator is backing AI-first law firms to disrupt this market (AL article in comments). I wonder if they might be funding a model that's already obsolete. If in-house teams can do commodity work themselves in seconds, they don't need a cheaper outside firm. They don't need any outside firm. How much of your outside counsel spend is on work you could do yourself with a decent precedent and a prompt? #legaltech #inhousecounsel

There is a lot of movement in the HealthTech sector driven by AI. Just last week, we had three HealthTech startups onboarded at Skala. And regulations for such projects are of paramount importance. A patchwork of AI laws in different states (both in the U.S. internally, but also globally) won't work and will only enrich the lawyers. But unfortunately there does not seem to be any political will to work towards a more unified framework.
