01 Advisors Fund IV SEC Form D Review: Why Dick Costolo and Adam Bain Set Another $395M Venture Target

01 Advisors 04, L.P. entered the SEC record on September 16, 2026 with a $395 million target, but the most important number in the filing is not $395 million — it is $0. The Delaware limited partnership reported that its first sale had not yet occurred, that zero investors had invested and that the full $395 million remained to be sold. The vehicle is classified as a venture capital pooled investment fund, relies on Rule 506(b), claims the Investment Company Act Section 3(c)(7) exclusion and states that the offering is not expected to last more than one year. The filing also reports a $0 minimum investment, no sales commissions, no finder fees and no payments from proceeds to named related persons at filing, while noting that the general partner or its designee is entitled to a management fee. Those details make the filing a useful launch marker, but they do not establish a first close, LP commitment base or final fund size.

English Capital Partners LP SEC Form D Review 2026: $97.7M Raised Across an 11-Year Hedge Fund Filing History

English Capital Partners LP SEC Form D Review 2026: $97.7M Raised Across an 11-Year Hedge Fund Filing History

English Capital Partners LP is unusual among recent Form D searches because the September 18, 2026 filing is not the launch of a newly created private fund. It is the latest amendment in a regulatory history extending back to 2015. The Delaware limited partnership identifies English Capital Management LLC as its general partner and Riley English as the managing member of that general partner. The latest amendment classifies the issuer as a hedge fund, relies on Rule 506(b) and Investment Company Act Section 3(c)(1), states that the offering began on September 1, 2015 and is intended to continue for more than one year, and reports an indefinite offering with $97,683,512 sold to 16 investors. That creates a much stronger longitudinal evidence trail than a single Form D snapshot: the core legal entity, manager, principal, strategy classification and operating address have remained traceable over many years even though the business moved from Massachusetts to Detroit and ultimately to Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Whisper Aero SEC Form D Review: $46.32M Fully Raised as UltraQuiet Propulsion Moves From NASA to Defense and Commercial Markets

Whisper Aero's September 17, 2026 Form D is materially different from a pre-revenue startup filing that contains little evidence beyond the raise itself. The Delaware corporation reported a $46,317,349 equity offering and stated that the entire $46,317,349 had already been sold to 16 investors, leaving nothing remaining under that notice. The filing identifies 199 Henry Street in Crossville, Tennessee as the principal business location, lists Mark Moore as Chief Executive Officer and uses the same 562-254-8989 telephone number associated with the company's established public footprint. Earlier SEC history reaches back to a 2023 Form D under the same CIK, 0001984798, and SEC file number 021-486705. Whisper publicly announced a $32 million Series A in April 2023 led by Menlo Ventures, EVE Atlas, Capricorn's Technology Impact Fund and Connor Capital, with participation from Kindred Ventures, Abstract Ventures, Moving Capital, AeroX Ventures, Cosmos Ventures, Linse Capital and LaunchTN. The new $46.32 million filing is therefore best understood against an existing institutional financing history rather than as Whisper's first outside-capital event.

Juniper Fund Cayman SEC Review 2026: $19.8M Offshore Feeder, Frederic Ryser and the Juniper GP Transition

Juniper Fund Cayman LLC is an offshore hedge-fund vehicle tied to Frederic Ryser's Juniper investment platform rather than an unrelated Cayman fund using the same name. The September 4, 2026 Form D/A reports $19,815,045 cumulatively sold to 21 investors, a $500,000 minimum, an indefinite Rule 506(b) offering and reliance on Section 3(c)(1). Frederic Ryser is listed as director, and the fund's current regulatory architecture now points to Juniper GP LLC, which filed in 2026 as an Exempt Reporting Adviser under CRD 339533 / SEC 802-136440 and reports both Juniper Fund LLC and Juniper Fund Cayman LLC as private funds. The Cayman vehicle should be understood as part of a master-feeder arrangement rather than as a completely separate strategy. Earlier SEC filings show that the same fund complex was previously managed through Waycross GP LLC and advised by SEC-registered Waycross Partners LLC, so the most important research story is the transition from the earlier Waycross structure into a dedicated Juniper-branded management platform.

Stellar Growth Fund SEC Review 2026: Rule 504 Hedge Fund, $0 Current Sales and a $1M–$5M Reported NAV Range

Stellar Growth Fund LP is a small Delaware hedge fund with a real SEC filing history but unusually limited public transparency around its investment manager, strategy and operating platform. The September 4, 2026 Form D is a new Rule 504 offering rather than an amendment to a large continuing raise. It reports an indefinite offering, a $25,000 minimum investment, $0 sold, zero investors and "first sale yet to occur," while the issuer selected an aggregate net asset value range of $1 million to $5 million. Michael Esposito is the only related person named in the filing and is described as an executive officer and principal of the general partner; Jonathan T. Buck signs the filing as another principal of the general partner. SEC records consistently classify the vehicle as a hedge fund relying on Section 3(c)(1), but the filing does not name a separate registered investment adviser, disclose a strategy, identify service providers or provide current performance. For FilingDossier, that means the correct conclusion is not that Stellar Growth Fund is suspicious or illegitimate, but that the public evidence supports only a very small, lightly disclosed hedge-fund operation and does not justify attaching an unrelated website or inferring a sophisticated institutional platform.

Cleveland Capital SEC Form D Review: $40.45M Hedge Fund and Its Small-Cap Value Strategy

Cleveland Capital stands apart from newly formed private funds because its regulatory trail stretches back decades and can be cross-checked across several different SEC disclosure systems. Cleveland Capital Management, L.L.C. states that it was formed in 1996 in Rocky River, Ohio, while Cleveland Capital, L.P.'s current Form D history reports January 1, 1997 as the date of first sale. The latest reviewed amendment, filed September 12, 2025, identifies the vehicle as a Delaware limited partnership and a hedge fund relying on Rule 506(b) and Investment Company Act Section 3(c)(1). Unlike a closed fundraising round with a fixed target, the offering amount is listed as indefinite. The filing reports $40,452,676 of interests sold to 131 investors, including seven investors who did not qualify as accredited investors, and states that the offering is expected to continue for more than one year. Those figures should be read as cumulative securities sold under the offering rather than as a current NAV, performance figure or estimate of the manager's total assets.

Intrinsic Edge Digital Infrastructure Fund SEC Review 2026: $47.3M Digital Asset Hedge Fund, AI Compute and Crypto Infrastructure

Intrinsic Edge Digital Infrastructure Fund is not a private-equity fund buying data centers, fiber networks or towers directly. It is a public-markets hedge fund managed by Intrinsic Edge Capital Management that focuses on companies participating in the digital asset and digital infrastructure ecosystem. The September 4, 2026 Form D/A reports $47,286,166 cumulatively sold to 97 investors, a $500,000 minimum, an indefinite Rule 506(b) offering and reliance on Section 3(c)(7). Intrinsic Edge Capital Management is a Chicago-based SEC-registered adviser under CRD 285034 / SEC 801-108425, with approximately $772 million of regulatory AUM across eight accounts in its latest 2026 filing. Mark Coe founded the firm and serves as CIO, while the current leadership page names Daniel Craig as Director of Research and Co-PM of the Digital Infrastructure Fund. The fund's defining feature is therefore thematic public-equity exposure to digital assets, crypto mining, computing infrastructure and adjacent businesses rather than ownership of physical infrastructure projects.

Aequum Solutions SEC Form D Review: Inside Its $1.8M AI-Native SaaS Equity Raise

Aequum Solutions, Inc. entered the SEC record on September 15, 2026 with a relatively compact but unusually informative financing disclosure. The Delaware corporation, organized in 2026 and operating from 1949 21st Ave S in Birmingham, Alabama, reported a $1.8 million equity offering under Regulation D Rule 506(b). Its first sale occurred on September 2, 2026, less than two weeks before the filing. By the filing date, the company reported $649,946 sold to nine investors, leaving $1,150,054 available if the full stated offering is completed. The security is equity rather than debt or a pooled-investment-fund interest, the company said the financing was not connected to a merger or acquisition, and the filing reports no commissions or finder fees. Aequum also declined to disclose its revenue range. Taken together, this looks less like a fund vehicle and more like an early-stage operating company financing its own technology platform.

MY Japan Focused Fund SEC Review 2026: York Capital Spinout, $123.6M U.S. Reg D Capital and a Catalyst-Driven Japan Strategy

MY Japan Focused Fund is not a newly created Japan hedge fund with an unknown sponsor. It is the renamed successor to York Capital Management's Japan-focused investment vehicles and is now managed by Hong Kong-based MY.Alpha Management HK Advisors Limited. The September 4, 2026 filings show two parallel structures: Cayman-based MY Japan Focused Fund Ltd reported $86.58 million sold to 19 U.S. investors, while Delaware-based MY Japan Focused Fund LP reported $37.05 million sold to 25 investors; both use Rule 506(b), Section 3(c)(7), indefinite offerings and a $100,000 minimum. The combined U.S. Regulation D amount is approximately $123.63 million, but that figure is not the strategy's total AUM because the Cayman filing specifically states that its Form D sales data exclude non-U.S. investors. Independent 2025 reporting placed MY.Alpha's externally available Japan multi-strategy fund at approximately $700 million, illustrating why U.S. Form D subscriptions and total strategy assets must remain separate.

Cool Hammer Storage SEC Review: $900K Pre-Sale Real Estate Raise Led by Andreas Mirza

Cool Hammer Storage, LP is a newly formed 2026 Texas commercial real estate issuer that entered the SEC record before taking its first outside investment.

Andreas Osman Mirza is the only related person listed and is identified as Executive Officer. He signed the filing as Managing Member of Coastal Highpoint Properties, LLC, which the signature block identifies as General Partner. This gives the vehicle a clear sponsor chain even though the actual storage property has not yet been disclosed. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Top Mark Capital Partners SEC Review 2026: $5.27M Sold, 15 Investors & a 2012 Hedge Fund with an Unusual Filing Reset

Top Mark Capital Partners LP is a small, long-running hedge fund whose SEC record is more interesting for its filing chronology than for its current size. The Delaware limited partnership, CIK 0001554856, filed its latest Form D/A on September 18, 2026 and reports an indefinite Rule 506(c) offering, Section 3(c)(1) exclusion, $5,265,974 cumulatively sold, 15 investors and a $250,000 minimum investment. The fund is classified as a pooled investment fund and hedge fund, with Michael Joseph Nicoletti identified as Managing Member of the General Partner. The same legal issuer dates back to 2012, but its Form D history is not one simple uninterrupted fundraising line. The original 2012 notice showed a $500,000 offering and no sales; a 2020 filing launched a $5 million offering with $600,000 sold and a new October 1, 2020 first-sale date; a 2021 amendment increased that to $950,000; then a January 2024 new Form D showed an indefinite offering, $0 sold, two investors and a January 2, 2024 first-sale date. Yet the 2025 and 2026 amendments reverted to an October 2, 2012 first-sale date and reported $4.427 million and $5.266 million sold respectively. That makes this fund's central research story a regulatory-history reset and reconciliation issue, not simply a $5.3 million hedge fund.
