When the SEC's staff reviews a filing, it writes to the company with numbered questions, and the company answers each one in a letter. SEC publishes the exchange once the review is over, at least 20 business days later. Below: what the staff asked DFDV, and the company's answer to each question, quoted from the letters. A question is not an accusation; most reviews end with the company adding detail to its next filing.

SEC asked
You disclose that you did not provide management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") due to a transition period established by the Commission.

The amended filing should also include updated and complete certifications pursuant to Item 601(b)(31), including ICFR language, and Item 601(b)(32) of Regulation S-K. For example, we note that your currently filed certifications omit certification 4(b) of Item 601(b)(31). In addition, ensure compliance in your future filings on both Forms 10-K and 10-Q. To the extent needed, please also refer to the Division of Corporation Finance: Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002 - Frequently Asked Questions pertaining to Section 302. In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.

Risk Factors · There is ambiguity in our Simple Agreements for Future Equity, page 34
SEC asked (4)
We note your response to our prior comment 9 and reissue in part. The heading to the risk factor seems to indicate that the exclusive forum is a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, but the risk factor discussion seems to indicate that the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for certain actions, including any "derivative action." Please revise for consistency.
Rest of the question

Please also clarify if the exclusive forum provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act. In that regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suit brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Please also provide disclosure of the exclusive forum provision under "Description of Securities," at page 74.
