About the Company

Charlie Guinn and Scott Guinn of Section 16 Agent
Charlie Guinn
Founder, CEO

Charlie graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law in 2017 and spent the next seven years in private practice at two of Washington, DC's leading law firms, representing dozens of public companies and building a specialty in federal securities law and capital markets. In 2025 he moved in-house as an attorney at a national securities exchange, where his work centers on public company and securities matters. Across eight years of practice, he has personally drafted or reviewed more than a thousand Forms 3 and 4.

Not long after he began drafting Section 16 filings, Charlie had a thought most practitioners eventually have: there has to be a better way. By 2025 it was clear that if this tool was going to exist, he would have to build it. So he taught himself to develop software on nights and weekends, convinced that if he could solve this pain point for himself, the corporate counsel who spend their days on these compliance tasks would benefit too.

“Section 16 Agent is my best effort at solving a problem I feel deeply. It is a bet that if I can solve it for myself, I can solve it for you. I invite you to use it, and to send me your feedback.”

Scott Guinn

Scott lends his expertise and experience in software development to Section 16 Agent. He has advised on the foundational structure of the application and provides ongoing development support.

Scott is a software engineer at a cloud infrastructure company, where he holds AWS's security specialty certification and spends his days on systems that are not allowed to go down. Prior to that role, Scott was an original member of the founding team of Seasats, a maritime autonomy company, serving as an engineering lead and building equipment that keeps ocean-going drones running unattended for weeks at a time.

Scott is a proud graduate of the College of William & Mary and resident of Boulder, Colorado where both he and Charlie grew up together.
