The short version

Ben Bates is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 11 SEC Form D filings by 10 issuers between Dec 2021 and Jan 2026. Largest by amount reported sold: CHCP Direct Investors, L.P. (Dallas, TX — pooled investment fund — 2023; $466.5M reported sold to 273 investors), CH-IP Owl Rock Tech II, L.L.C. (Dallas, TX — pooled investment fund — 2021; $178.8M reported sold to 141 investors), CH-IP ORCTH II, L.L.C. (Dallas, TX — pooled investment fund — 2022; $176.8M reported sold to 140 investors), CH-IP Direct Investment Fund II, L.P. (Dallas, TX — pooled investment fund — 2022; $125.9M reported sold to 122 investors), CH-IP Private Equity 2021, L.P. (Dallas, TX — pooled investment fund — 2022; $81.9M reported sold to 91 investors) and 5 more (all listed below).

What this means That is a lot of deals — 10 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $1.15B sold in total.

Listed alongside Michael R. Silverman (11 shared filings), Diane Tobin (8 shared filings), Kirk L. Rimer (6 shared filings), L. CH Investment Partners, L.L.C. (4 shared filings, management entity), Oak Lawn Direct Investors GP, L.L.C. (4 shared filings, management entity) and 13 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Ben. Each name links to their own page.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Crow (66 issuers, $13.09B reported sold, 2011–2026) and Cresset (47 issuers, $1.88B reported sold, 2010–2026).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 11 public filings for Ben Bates and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Ben Bates is no longer listed on the Oct 29, 2024 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

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

Worth asking · Oct 26, 2023 – Oct 29, 2024

Ben Bates is no longer listed on the Oct 29, 2024 amendment — CHCP Direct Investors, L.P.

Ben Bates appears on the Oct 26, 2023 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Oct 29, 2024 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Sources
Note · Oct 28, 2022 – Nov 14, 2022

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — CH-IP Px3 (Alamo), L.L.C.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 28, 2022. The Form D was filed Nov 14, 2022 — 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 · Dec 14, 2021 – Feb 7, 2022

Form D filed 55 days after the first sale — CH-IP ORCTH II, L.L.C.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 14, 2021. The Form D was filed Feb 7, 2022 — 55 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 40 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 · Dec 14, 2021 – Dec 30, 2021

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — CH-IP Owl Rock Tech II, L.L.C.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 14, 2021. The Form D was filed Dec 30, 2021 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

6 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 — CH-IP Private Equity 2023, L.P. (latest filing Mar 11, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CH-IP Px3 (Alamo), L.L.C. (latest filing Nov 14, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CH-IP Direct Investment Fund II, L.P. (latest filing Jun 6, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CH-IP Private Equity 2021, 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.

Ben Bates is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Ben Bates" on 9 filings (from Dec 30, 2021), and "Ben L. Bates" on 2 filings (from Jun 6, 2022).

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.

Note · Aug 11, 2009 – Oct 19, 2011

Same name, different state: "Ben Bates, Jr." (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is TX. A separate record, "Ben Bates, Jr." with address state FL, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Neighborhood Bank Corp (Oct 19, 2011). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Dec 30, 2021 to Jan 20, 2026; the other runs Aug 11, 2009 to Oct 19, 2011.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.

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 every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
