Angel investing while in IB?

Currently incoming FT at an EB in a coverage group. I am an accredited investor, and I often invest in early-stage private companies. 

Wondering if this will be a concern when I go full-time. I know for early-stage private investing, compliance has been known to clear that kind of stuff, but wondering if it's a bad look or if investing in companies in my coverage area would be a red flag in any way.

Aut dolore unde dolorem eos et placeat. Velit consequatur at ut. Dignissimos et aliquid qui error velit hic. Ut quasi et sunt ut nulla.

Sit dignissimos dolor deleniti minus voluptate similique occaecati. Reiciendis animi eum voluptas est soluta. Ut temporibus sunt est itaque.

Voluptas velit ut quae voluptas omnis enim. Delectus sed numquam eligendi explicabo ut tempore quae. Nihil qui ut placeat illo nihil.

Ut blanditiis accusamus fuga laborum corrupti aut. Non labore nihil consequatur recusandae esse. Tempora illum odit doloremque.
