The short version

Aether is a sponsor group of 9 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 12 Form D filings between Oct 2009 and Apr 2024.

What this means One team, 9 deal companies, about 15 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: $1.13B to 448 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (9). Issuers are based in CO (9).

What this means $1.13B raised across the group, about $2.53M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Sean Goodrich (9 issuers, executive officer and promoter), Troy Schell (9 issuers, executive officer and promoter), David Rhoades (8 issuers, executive officer and promoter), Eric Gorman (1 issuer, executive officer) and Jon Hendrickson (1 issuer, executive officer).

What this means 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 Apr 8, 2024.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (4 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 12 public filings for Aether and found 3 differences: Offering amount lowered between filings; Offering amount changed between filings; 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.

4. Differences between public sources

No comparisons published

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.

3 differences found between the filings for Aether (compared 12 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 7, 2023 – Apr 8, 2024

Offering amount lowered between filings — Aether Real Assets Seed Partners I, L.P.

The Apr 7, 2023 filing says $750,000,000 offered; the Apr 8, 2024 Form D/A says $150,000,000.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Note · Oct 16, 2009 – Oct 8, 2010

Offering amount changed between filings — Aether Real Assets I, L.P.

The Oct 16, 2009 filing says $125,000,000 offered; the Oct 8, 2010 Form D/A says $135,000,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

5 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 — Aether Real Assets Seed Partners I, L.P. (latest filing Apr 8, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Aether Real Assets Co-Investment I, L.P. (latest filing May 12, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Aether Real Assets IV, L.P. (latest filing Jan 13, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Aether Real Assets II, L.P. (latest filing Jan 13, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Aether Real Assets I, L.P. (latest filing Oct 8, 2010)

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

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.

How this is counted

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 9 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).
