| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/31/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5. Fees and Compensation Fees and Allocations The Funds, and the investors in the Funds, are “qualified purchasers” as defined in ICA Section 2(a)(51)(A). Therefore, information on how Cota Capital is compensated for its advisory services and its fee schedule is not included here. Cota Capital’s compensation varies, and is disclosed in each Fund’s confidential offering circular or private offering memorandum. Cota Capital GP serves as the general partner of each Initial Fund and the Growth Master Fund, CEVII GP serves as the general partner of CEVII, CEVIII GP serves as the general partner of CEVIII, CFVII GP serves as the general partner of CFVII, and CEOFI GP serves as the general partner of CEOFI. Collectively, the general partner entities are referred to herein as the “GPs”. Cota Capital deducts management fees directly from the applicable Funds. Each GP is allocated performance-based profits or distributed carried interest distributions from the applicable Fund. Investors pay these management fees and performance allocations/carried interest distributions indirectly through their investments in the applicable Funds. For each Growth Fund and Initial Fund, management fees are generally deducted in advance for each fiscal quarter. Performance allocations for the Growth Funds will be made, if at all, when their final position is liquidated. Performance allocations for the Initial Funds are allocated at the end of each fiscal year. Generally, if a Growth Fund or Initial Fund terminates, the investor bears expenses, the management fees and performance allocations through the date of termination. Cota Capital is in the process of winding down the Growth Funds, therefore withdrawals and redemptions from the Growth Funds are no longer permitted. Investors may not withdraw from the Initial Funds. For CEVII, CEVIII, CFVII and CEOFI, management fees are deducted in advance for each fiscal quarter. Carried interest distributions are generally made on a realization event in accordance with each Fund’s distribution waterfall described in its Partnership Agreement. Investors may not withdraw from CEVII, CEVIII, CFVII or CEOFI. The compensation paid by each SPV to Cota Capital and its affiliates will be disclosed in such SPV’s governing documents. Cota Capital may provide certain investors special fee arrangements that it does not provide to other investors, and may waive all or any portion of the management fees or performance allocations with respect to any investor. Cota Capital complies with Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as required. Performance allocations and carried interest distributions may create an incentive for Cota Capital to make more risky and speculative investments than it would otherwise make. Cota Capital believes that its fees are competitive with fees charged by other investment advisers for comparable services. Comparable services may be available, however, from other sources for lower fees. Expenses Each Fund is responsible for its own costs and expenses, including investment and trading costs and expenses (such as deal-related fees, including diligence and other fees, and fees of professional advisors (such as attorneys), broken-deal fees), ongoing legal, accounting, bookkeeping, professional, expert and consulting fees and expenses, and the fees and expenses charged by the Funds’ administrator for its accounting, bookkeeping and other services. Cota Capital and each GP bear their own operating, general, administrative and overhead costs and expenses, other than the expenses described above. |

Item 7. Types of Clients Cota Capital provides investment advice to the Funds. Investors in CEVIII or CEOFI must invest at least $1,000,000. Cota Capital may waive this minimum. Investment minimums in the SPVs vary and are disclosed in each SPV’s governing documents. The Growth Funds, the Initial Funds, CEVII and CFVII are currently closed to new investors. |
