The short version

Mercato is a sponsor group of 17 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, shared management entity, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 22 Form D filings between Sep 2011 and Feb 2025.

What this means One team, 17 deal companies, about 14 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: $363M to 202 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (17). Issuers are based in UT (17).

What this means $363M raised across the group, about $1.8M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Greg Warnock (17 issuers, executive officer and director), Davis Warnock (5 issuers, executive officer and director), Mercato Partners Traverse IV GP, LLC (4 issuers, director, entity), Zach Sivertson (4 issuers, director), Andrew K. Smith (3 issuers, director) and 13 more.

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 Feb 6, 2025.

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

Adviser registration (Form ADV) on record: MERCATO PARTNERS.

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 22 public filings for Mercato and found 11 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 people are no longer listed on a later amendment; 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 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.

11 differences found between the filings for Mercato — 1 worth asking about (compared 22 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Address moved from Salt Lake City, UT to Lehi, UT — VCP Fund III, LP

The people listed on the Sep 1, 2023 filing give Salt Lake City, UT; on the Aug 30, 2024 filing they give Lehi, UT. The address now on file (1557 W Innovation Way, Suite 175, Lehi, UT) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 10 issuers.

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