The short version

Benjamin Ling is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 26 SEC Form D filings by 14 issuers between Nov 2013 and Nov 2019. Largest by amount reported sold: Bling Capital Fund I LP (San Francisco, CA — pooled investment fund — 2018–2019; $58M reported sold to 160 investors), Bling Capital Fund I Opps LP (San Jose, CA — pooled investment fund — 2018–2019; $30.8M reported sold to 116 investors), Quantopian Inc. (Boston, MA — other technology — 2013–2016; $25.6M reported sold to 13 investors), Plastiq Inc. (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2014–2016; $10M reported sold to 18 investors), Shoes of Prey, Inc. (Santa Monica, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2015; $7.34M reported sold to 18 investors) and 9 more (all listed below).

What this means That is a lot of deals — 14 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $148.1M sold in total.

Listed alongside Andrew Parker (3 shared filings), Daniel Choi (3 shared filings), Eliot Buchanan (3 shared filings), JOHN FAWCETT (3 shared filings), Jeffrey Bussgang (3 shared filings) and 12 others.

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Bling (11 issuers, $105.1M reported sold, 2018–2019) and 1337 Street (3 issuers, $77M reported sold, 2013–2019).

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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 26 public filings for Benjamin Ling and found 10 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 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.

Same name, different state: "Benjamin Ling" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MA or CA. A separate record, "Benjamin Ling" with address state FL, is listed on 14 filings — most recently by Bling Capital Fund V Opps LP (Jan 8, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Dec 23, 2015 to Nov 14, 2019; the other runs Oct 21, 2021 to Oct 30, 2024.

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.

MA on 4 filings (Nov 5, 2013 to Nov 14, 2016); CA on 22 filings (Dec 23, 2015 to Nov 14, 2019).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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.

Same business address

2 other issuers file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 14 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Benjamin Ling by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 14 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
