Conflicts of Interest 

Notice is hereby given that Escalate 

Capital Partners SBIC I, L.P., 300 W. 6th 

Street, Suite 2250, Austin, TX 78701, a 

Federal Licensee under the Small 

Business Investment Act of 1958, as 

amended (the ‘‘Act’’), in connection 

with the financing of a small concern, 

has sought an exemption under Section 

312 of the Act and Section 107.730, 

Financings which Constitute Conflicts 

of Interest of the Small Business 

Administration (‘‘SBA’’) Rules and 

Regulations (13 CFR 107.730). Escalate 

Capital Partners SBIC I, L.P. seeks to 

provide debt financing to Donuts, Inc., 

10500 NE 8th Street, Suite 350, 

Bellevue, WA 98004. The proceeds will 

be used to refinance existing debt, buy 

top level domain names, and for general 

corporate purposes, including new 

hiring. 

The financing is brought within the 

purview of § 107.730(a)(1) of the 

Regulations because Austin Ventures, 

an Associate of Escalate Capital Partners 

SBIC I, L.P., owns more than ten percent 

of Donuts, Inc.; therefore this 

transaction is considered financing an 

Associate requiring SBA prior written 

exemption. 

Notice is hereby given that any 

interested person may submit written 

comments on the transaction, within 

fifteen days of the date of this 

publication, to the Associate 

Administrator for the Office of
