Is it Reasonable to Require LATAM Startups to Register in the US for Tax Purposes When Investing in Both Regions?

I intend to invest in both LATAM (Colombia) and US (Florida) based companies. Given LP tax discussion today is it reasonable to require LATAM startups be registered in the US?

It’s reasonable for you to invest in companies that are incorporated in Delaware. A lot of companies in LATAM do this because it gives them access to international investors. That being said, it really depends on your strategy and deal flow. If most of your Columbian deal flow is incorporated locally, you may not have a choice and they you may have to choose for efficiency purposes.

Please be sure not to provide any tax advice to prospective portfolio companies or LPs alike.
