The short version

Bryan Darroch is listed as a director on 14 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2017 and Mar 2023: Rye Bay European Fund LP (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2017–2023; $292.4M reported sold to 24 investors) and Rye Bay European Fund Ltd (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2017–2023; $194M reported sold to 15 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $486.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Andrew Linford (14 shared filings), Charlie Woolnough (14 shared filings), Rye Bay Capital LLP (14 shared filings, management entity), Rye Bay Capital Management Ltd (7 shared filings, management entity) and Rye Bay European (GP) Ltd (7 shared filings, management entity).

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Rye Bay European (2 issuers, $219.4M reported sold, 2017–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Rye Bay European has 2 companies on file and $219.4M 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 (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) — 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 14 public filings for Bryan Darroch and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 offerings reported less sold on a later filing than an earlier one; 6 offerings reported fewer investors on a later filing; 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.

8 differences found between the filings for Bryan Darroch — 2 worth asking about (compared 14 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 6, 1997 – Nov 6, 1997

Bankruptcy case: Humboldt Express, Inc. v. Darroch Incorporated — filed Mar 6, 1997

United States Bankruptcy Court, W.D. North Carolina docket "Humboldt Express, Inc. v. Darroch Incorporated" filed Mar 6, 1997, closed Nov 6, 1997. Bryan Darroch is listed as Defendant ("Darroch Incorporated"). Our match estimate: 40%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Worth asking · Feb 7, 2020 – Mar 30, 2023

5 offerings reported less sold on a later filing than an earlier one

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up. Ask the sponsor what happened on each.

6 offerings reported fewer investors on a later filing

Investor count went down between filings — Rye Bay European Fund LP · Investor count went down between filings — Rye Bay European Fund Ltd · Investor count went down between filings — Rye Bay European Fund LP · Investor count went down between filings — Rye Bay European Fund Ltd · Investor count went down between filings — Rye Bay European Fund LP · and 1 more

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. Ask the sponsor what happened on each.

Sources
Note · Mar 1, 2017 – Mar 31, 2017

Form D filed 30 days after the first sale — Rye Bay European Fund LP

The filing says the first sale was Mar 1, 2017. The Form D was filed Mar 31, 2017 — 30 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 15 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 · Mar 1, 2017 – Mar 30, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Rye Bay European Fund LP (latest filing Mar 30, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 30, 2023 (first sale Mar 1, 2017). It reports $153,632,719 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

This page covers filings where the address state is E9. A separate record, "Bryan Michael Darroch" with address state Y8 or E9, is listed on 32 filings — most recently by WORKING CAPITAL PARTNERS (OFFSHORE), LTD. (May 13, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Feb 10, 2017 to Mar 30, 2023).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.
