The short version

Cathryn Chen is listed as an executive officer on 7 SEC Form D filings by 5 issuers between Jul 2021 and Sep 2021: MarketX Discord Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC (San Francisco, CA — pooled investment fund — 2021; $7.5M reported sold to 28 investors), MarketX Rubrik Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC (San Francisco, CA — pooled investment fund — 2021; $5.09M reported sold to 25 investors), MarketX Klarna Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC (Salt Lake City, UT — pooled investment fund — 2021; $3.57M reported sold to 18 investors), MarketX Patreon Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC (San Francisco, CA — pooled investment fund — 2021; $1.1M reported sold to 3 investors) and Market X Big ID Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC (Salt Lake City, UT — pooled investment fund — 2021; $489K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 5 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer. Across those companies the filings report $17.7M sold in total.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

All 5 issuers belong to the sponsor group Marketx (5 issuers, $17.7M reported sold, 2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Marketx has 5 companies on file and $17.7M 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) — 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 7 public filings for Cathryn Chen and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 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.

4. Differences between public sources

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

6 differences found between the filings for Cathryn Chen — 1 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 28, 2021 – Sep 1, 2021

5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 81 days after the first sale — Market X Big ID Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC · Form D filed 134 days after the first sale — MarketX Patreon Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC · Form D filed 168 days after the first sale — MarketX Rubrik Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC · Form D filed 54 days after the first sale — MarketX Discord Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC · Form D filed 43 days after the first sale — MarketX Klarna Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

Sources
Note · Aug 4, 2021

Offering amount changed between filings — MarketX Klarna Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC

The Aug 4, 2021 filing says $3,499,093 offered; the Aug 4, 2021 Form D/A says $3,570,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Sep 1, 2021 – Sep 10, 2021

Minimum investment changed between filings — MarketX Discord Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC

The Sep 1, 2021 filing lists a minimum of $25,000; the Sep 10, 2021 Form D/A lists $100,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

Sources
Note · Sep 1, 2021 – Sep 10, 2021

Reported revenue range changed between filings — MarketX Discord Fund I, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC

"$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (Sep 1, 2021); then "Decline to Disclose" (Sep 10, 2021).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
Note · Oct 20, 2022 – Nov 14, 2022

Same name, different state: "Cathryn Chen" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is UT or CA. A separate record, "Cathryn Chen" with address state FL, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by MarketX SpaceX Fund II, a series of MarketX Ventures LLC (Nov 14, 2022). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jul 15, 2021 to Sep 10, 2021; the other runs Oct 20, 2022 to Nov 14, 2022.

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
Note · Jul 15, 2021 – Sep 10, 2021

Cathryn Chen is listed with 2 different address states: UT, CA

UT on 5 filings (Jul 15, 2021 to Sep 10, 2021); CA on 2 filings (Aug 4, 2021 to Aug 4, 2021).

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.

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.

How this is counted

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).
