Augment’s compliance team required a specific audio edit to the final cut of Episode 3 of their podcast/video series. The phrase to remove: “super exciting” at timestamp 15:10-15:12.
The full quote context: “…allow investors to come into one of these pre-IPO companies with a more flexible capital outlay. So like you can invest a smaller amount of dollars than you otherwise would have needed to in order to come into one of these super exciting companies.”
Compliance rationale: Likely falls under investment advertising language rules (can’t characterize investment opportunities as “super exciting” in regulated financial content).
Ben confirmed the edit and the fix was uploaded to GDrive.
Why this matters
Augment is a financial services adjacent client (pre-IPO market education). Compliance review on video content is part of their workflow. Our team should build compliance review time into Augment video deliverables and anticipate that language characterizing investment opportunities may be flagged.
This is a one-time fix; flagged for awareness in case similar language appears in future Augment content batches.
