The short version

BRUCE E. SICKEL is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jun 2010 and Sep 2013: BLUECROSS BLUESHIELD VENTURE PARTNERS II, L.P. (Chicago, IL — pooled investment fund — 2013; $186.8M reported sold to 23 investors), International Plan Solutions, LLC (Omaha, NE — pooled investment fund — 2010–2012; $44.9M reported sold to 14 investors) and BLUECROSS BLUESHIELD VENTURES II, INC. (Chicago, IL — pooled investment fund — 2013; $1.89M reported sold to 23 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $233.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside BRYAN R. CAMERLINCK (3 shared filings), KAREN ABRAHAM (3 shared filings), MICHAEL R. CLEARY (3 shared filings), Alan Krigstein (2 shared filings), BRIAN O'MALLEY (2 shared filings) and 34 others.

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

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Bluecross Blueshield (8 issuers, $634.2M reported sold, 2009–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Bluecross Blueshield has 8 companies on file and $634.2M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court 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 4 public filings for BRUCE E. SICKEL and found 3 differences: Offering amount changed between filings; BRUCE E. SICKEL is written 2 different ways on the filings; 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.

3 differences found between the filings for BRUCE E. SICKEL (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 4, 2011 – Sep 3, 2013

Note · Jun 9, 2010 – Sep 3, 2013

BRUCE E. SICKEL is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Bruce Sickel" on 2 filings (from Jun 9, 2010), and "Bruce E. Sickel" on 2 filings (from Sep 3, 2013).

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
