The short version

Haven is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 3 Form D filings between Feb 2022 and Jul 2023.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 1 year 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: $48.3M to 72 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (2). Issuers are based in CA (2).

What this means $48.3M raised across the group, about $670K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Joseph Guzel (2 issuers, executive officer), McLain Southworth (2 issuers, executive officer), Haven Ventures GP I, LLC (1 issuer, executive officer, entity) and Haven Ventures SPV GP I, 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: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Jul 31, 2023.

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) — 5 court cases matching the name, 17 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 22 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 Haven and found 4 differences: Form D filed 16 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.

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.

State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. 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.
