    What is the source of these regulatory filings that PE Week is always citing? I find notices in EDGAR at sec.gov, but it indicates that they are only available on paper at the SEC's office. Is it because PE Week is a Thomson publication that they have access to these electronically?

    That's right. Thomson are the only folks who have someone sitting in the SEC office and reading them off as they come in. Have noticed VentureWire citing these filings too recently, but they're relying, I think, on the online Thomson database which, interestingly, only posts the filings a few days later. Lesson? Come talk with us at SiliconBeat about your company right away, not *after* you file at the SEC! ;)

    Thanks. It's official: http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/ofis.shtml. Only Thomson has electronic images of the paper filings. In a macro sense, shouldn't those be just as available to the public as the electronic filings in EDGAR?

    So, what is the story on Bay Partners (referred in the True Demand Software)? I keep hearing of their impending demise on the street but they keep doing deals. Are they making any new investments, or are these just follow-on investments in their older funds? Just curious.

    Bay is still investing in new companies. I know, because I've heard of a fresh deal they're about to unveil. Unfortunately, conditions of access were such that i can't mention it -- just yet, at least.
