The short version

Fork is a sponsor group of 7 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 8 Form D filings between Feb 2014 and Jun 2018.

What this means One team, 7 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: $25K to 1 investor (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (7). Issuers are based in CA (7).

What this means $25K raised across the group, about $25K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: B. Scott Norman (7 issuers, executive officer, director, and promoter), Simone Syed (7 issuers, executive officer, director, and promoter) and General Partner Scott Velorum ProtoFund GP Series of Velorum Prime LLC (1 issuer, promoter, entity).

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 Jun 15, 2018.

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) — 1 court case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 8 public filings for Fork and found 3 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; B. Scott Norman is written 2 different ways on the 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.

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:16 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.

Names that appear only in the body of a release are not found. — Searched SEC litigation releases and administrative proceedings (1995→ / 2007→) (30,205 records as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET) — nothing matched Fork..

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 Fork (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 20, 2015 – Feb 3, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Velorum ProtoFund LP (latest filing Feb 3, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 3, 2015 (first sale Jan 20, 2015). It reports $25,000 sold of an indefinite amount offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Form D · Feb 3, 2015 ↗Velorum ProtoFund LP — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Feb 5, 2014 – Feb 8, 2017

B. Scott Norman is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "B. Scott Norman" on 7 filings (from Feb 5, 2014), and "B. Norman" on the Feb 8, 2017 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Form D · Feb 5, 2014 ↗Form D · Feb 8, 2017 ↗B. Scott Norman — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jun 15, 2018

Address on file is a registered agent / shared office — Velorum Digital Asset Fund LP

The latest filing lists 100 Pine Street, Suite 1250, San Francisco, CA. That address is used by 76 issuers in our index (76 issuers in 25 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.

Form D · Jun 15, 2018 ↗Velorum Digital Asset Fund LP — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
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.

5. Money to insiders

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