The short version

Circle is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people; automatic match from the filings), filing 3 Form D filings between Feb 2023 and Mar 2025.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 2 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: $2.15M to 17 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Other Real Estate (1), Commercial (1). Issuers are based in MN (2).

What this means $2.15M raised across the group, about $126K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Stuart Tapper (2 issuers, executive officer and director).

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 Mar 11, 2025.

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) — 13 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 records 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 3 public filings for Circle and found 3 differences: Form D filed 25 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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 Circle (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 14, 2025 – Mar 11, 2025

Form D filed 25 days after the first sale — Ventures Eagan, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Feb 14, 2025. The Form D was filed Mar 11, 2025 — 25 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 10 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.

Sources
Note · Feb 14, 2025 – Mar 11, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ventures Eagan, LLC (latest filing Mar 11, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 11, 2025 (first sale Feb 14, 2025). It reports $1,250,000 sold of $1,600,000 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.

Sources
Note · Feb 6, 2023

Minimum investment changed between filings — Circle Pines Glen Oaks Center, LLC

The Feb 6, 2023 filing lists a minimum of $100,000; the Feb 6, 2023 Form D/A lists $50,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

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.
