Brochure Summary

Overview

Description of Services and Fees Rapid Scale is a registered investment adviser based in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are a limited liability company, formed under the laws of the State of Nevada. We have been providing investment advisory services since 2021. Isaac de la Pena, CEO & CCO and Damien Balsan, COO & CIO, are the Managing Members and principal owners of Rapid Scale.
You may see the term Associated Person throughout this Brochure. As used in this Brochure, this term refers to anyone from our ﬁrm who is an oﬃcer, employee, and all individuals providing investment advice on behalf of our ﬁrm. Such persons are properly registered as investment adviser representatives in applicable jurisdictions where required.
Financial Vehicle Management Services Rapid Scale structures and manages ﬁnancial vehicles that invest in North American and International private equities, for the most part in the form of early stage technology ventures. These ﬁnancial vehicles can be multi-asset (known as “Funds”) or single-asset (known as “Special Purpose Vehicles” or “SPVs”).
In the case of the SPVs, the single asset is known in advance of the client’s investment decision and thus is non-discretionary. In the case of the Funds, our ﬁrm provides discretionary portfolio management services

to our clients. Discretionary portfolio management means that we will make investment decisions without contacting the client. These decisions will be made based upon the state investment strategy and objectives of the Fund.
Our investment advice is tailored to meet our clients’ needs and investment objectives. If you decide to hire our ﬁrm, we will meet with you to gather your ﬁnancial information, determine your goals, and help you decide how much risk you should take in your investments. The information we gather will help us implement an asset allocation strategy that will be speciﬁc to your goals, whether we are actively investing for you or simply providing you with advice.
Wrap Fee Programs We sponsor our own Wrap Fee Program in which we provide an all-inclusive management fee, typically a one-time or annual fee over AUM for the Pooled Investment Vehicles that we manage. The fee includes everything from advisory services to incorporation, registration and administration costs, as well as accounting and annual tax reporting services. Our customers appreciate the simplicity and ﬁnancial predictability that such a program provides.
Assets Under Management As of December 2023 we had approximately $85,000,000 in assets under management.
