The short version

West is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address; automatic match from the filings), filing 2 Form D filings between Apr 2021 and Aug 2021.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies. 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: $3.78M to 5 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: "Other" (2). Issuers are based in VA (2).

What this means $3.78M raised across the group, about $755K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Evans E. Richards (2 issuers, executive officer) and Chris Farrar (1 issuer, executive officer).

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 3, 2021.

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

What this means 41 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 2 public filings for West and found 3 differences: Last filing Aug 3, 2021 with 20% of the target sold; Form D filed 28 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.

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.

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 West (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 3, 2021

Last filing Aug 3, 2021 with 20% of the target sold — Errant Venture LLC

Errant Venture LLC (last filing Aug 3, 2021; $700,000 sold of $3,500,000). There is no filing in more than two years and the last one reported under half the target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Note · Jul 6, 2021 – Aug 3, 2021

Form D filed 28 days after the first sale — Errant Venture LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 6, 2021. The Form D was filed Aug 3, 2021 — 28 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 13 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.

Form D · Aug 3, 2021 ↗Errant Venture LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗

Note · Jul 6, 2021 – Aug 3, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Errant Venture LLC (latest filing Aug 3, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 3, 2021 (first sale Jul 6, 2021). It reports $700,000 sold of $3,500,000 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.

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.
