The short version

Novel is a sponsor group of 3 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 4 Form D filings between Apr 2013 and Mar 2024.

What this means One team, 3 deal companies, about 11 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: $34.7M to 99 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Other Technology (1), Pooled Investment Fund (1), Other Banking and Financial Services (1). Issuers are based in KS (3).

What this means $34.7M raised across the group, about $350K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Juan Carlos Antequera (3 issuers, executive officer and director), Keith Harrington (2 issuers, executive officer and director), C Jason Payne (1 issuer, director), Stephen Wolfe (1 issuer, director) and Wayne Morgan (1 issuer, 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, 2024.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 1 court case matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 4 public filings for Novel and found 5 differences: Form D filed 17 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.

5 differences found between the filings for Novel (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 23, 2024 – Mar 11, 2024

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Novel Capital, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Feb 23, 2024. The Form D was filed Mar 11, 2024 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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 12, 2018 – Nov 15, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Novel Growth Partners Fund I, L.P. (latest filing Nov 15, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 15, 2019 (first sale Feb 12, 2018). It reports $12,410,000 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.

Sources
Note · Feb 26, 2018 – Mar 11, 2024

Keith Harrington is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Keith Harrington" on 2 filings (from Feb 26, 2018), and "Keith M. Harrington" on the Mar 11, 2024 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.

Sources
Note · Feb 26, 2018 – Nov 15, 2019

Address moved from Olathe, KS to Overland Park, KS — Novel Growth Partners Fund I, L.P.

The people listed on the Feb 26, 2018 filing give Olathe, KS; on the Nov 15, 2019 filing they give Overland Park, KS.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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

0 of 3 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $100,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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