The short version

Sozo 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 13 Form D filings between Oct 2012 and Aug 2025.

What this means One team, 7 deal companies, about 13 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: $1.03B to 72 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (7). Issuers are based in CA (7).

What this means $1.03B raised across the group, about $14.3M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Koichiro Nakamura (7 issuers, executive officer and director), Phil Wickham (4 issuers, executive officer and director), Phillip Gerald Wickham (3 issuers, executive officer and director), East Asia Expansion Capital Partners GP, L.p. East Asia Expansion Capital Partners GP, L.p. (1 issuer, executive officer, entity), Robert Freelen (1 issuer, executive officer) and 3 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 Aug 29, 2025.

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

Adviser registration (Form ADV) on record: SOZO VENTURES.

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 13 public filings for Sozo and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 554 days after the first sale; 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.

9 differences found between the filings for Sozo — 1 worth asking about (compared 13 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 29, 2012 – Jun 6, 2014

Form D filed 554 days after the first sale — Sozo Feeder Fund, L.L.C.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 29, 2012. The Form D was filed Jun 6, 2014 — 554 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 539 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Sozo Ventures IV, L.P. (latest filing Aug 29, 2025) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Sozo Ventures III, L.P.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Phillip Gerald Wickham is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Phillip Gerald Wickham" on 4 filings (from Jun 27, 2018), and "Phillip Wickham" on 2 filings (from Aug 29, 2024).

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.

Member companies were formed in 2 different states

Delaware (5), Cayman Islands (2) — out of 7 member issuers. The odd ones out: Sozo Ventures - TrueBridge Fund II, L.P. (Cayman Islands); Sozo Ventures II-S, L.P. (Cayman Islands).

What this means Sponsors often form each deal company in Delaware or Wyoming no matter where the property is. A mix is common; it just tells you which state's rules each company lives under.

Issuer used a different name before — Sozo Ventures - TrueBridge Fund I, L.P.

SEC records list prior names for this filer: Sozo Ventures, L.P.. The current name on file is "Sozo Ventures - TrueBridge Fund I, L.P.".

What this means A name change is normal, but your documents may show the old name. Match the CIK, not just the name.

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