The short version

Acceleration is a sponsor group of 6 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 6 Form D filings between Oct 2013 and Aug 2017.

What this means One team, 6 deal companies, about 4 years of track record in SEC filings. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.

Combined reported sold: $44.7M to 101 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (6). Issuers are based in CA (6).

What this means $44.7M raised across the group, about $443K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Laurance Narbut (6 issuers, executive officer).

What this means 6 deals for a one-person team on paper. The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Aug 4, 2017.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 1 court case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 6 public filings for Acceleration and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 92 days after the first sale; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

What is compared

No public statement by this sponsor group has been collected yet, so there is nothing to compare. Sources compared: the sponsor's own website (known from the issuer's own filings — Form C issuer website, EDGAR company profile — an approved profile claim or Form ADV Item 1.I of its matched adviser) · SEC Form D · SEC Form ADV (IAPD) · Internet Archive · No website is on file for this sponsor group yet.

7 differences found between the filings for Acceleration — 1 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 9, 2014

Last filing Jan 9, 2014 with 36% of the target sold — Acceleration Resources III, L.P.

Acceleration Resources III, L.P. (last filing Jan 9, 2014; $4,830,430 sold of $13,500,000). There is no filing in more than two years and the last one reported under half the target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

17 other issuers file from the same address — 2 member issuers (Acceleration Resources VII, LP; Acceleration Resources VII-B, LP)

What this means Many unrelated companies file from this address. Often a registered agent or a fund administrator; sometimes a shared office. Ask where the team actually works.

Worth asking · Oct 9, 2013 – Jan 9, 2014

Form D filed 92 days after the first sale — Acceleration Resources II, L.P.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 9, 2013. The Form D was filed Jan 9, 2014 — 92 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 77 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Form D filed 28 days after the first sale — Acceleration Resources III, L.P.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 12, 2013. The Form D was filed Jan 9, 2014 — 28 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 13 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Acceleration Resources VII-B, LP (latest filing Aug 4, 2017) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Acceleration Resources VII, LP (latest filing Aug 4, 2017) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Acceleration Resources III, L.P. (latest filing Jan 9, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Acceleration Resources I, L.P. (latest filing Oct 2, 2013)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Address on file is a registered agent / shared office — Acceleration Resources VII-B, LP

The latest filing lists 400 Oyster Point Boulevard, Suite 525, South San Francisco, CA. That address is used by 19 issuers in our index (19 issuers in 11 unrelated clusters).

What this means Many small companies use a registered agent's address — it is legal and common. It means the Form D address is not where the team works. Ask where the business operates and who runs it day to day.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across all 6 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).
