The short version
Animal is a sponsor group of 5 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 7 Form D filings between Mar 2021 and Jul 2026.
What this means One team, 5 deal companies, about 5 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: $41.3M to 98 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (5). Issuers are based in NC (3), CA (2).
What this means $41.3M raised across the group, about $422K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.
Principal people: Marshall Sandman (5 issuers, executive officer, director, and promoter), Animal Capital GP I LLC (1 issuer, executive officer, entity) and Animal Capital GP II LLC (1 issuer, executive officer, entity).
What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.
Activity: 1 new offering in the last 12 months; latest filing Jul 21, 2026.
What this means still raising money this year.
Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases (search queued; results are added automatically).
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.
