The short version

Eli Chess is listed as an executive officer on 11 SEC Form D filings by 8 issuers between Jun 2021 and Aug 2024. Largest by amount reported sold: Willow Funds Florence Investors LLC (Sheridan, WY — commercial — 2024), Willow Funds Miller Broadway Investors LLC (Sheridan, WY — commercial — 2024), Willow Funds Dhanjal Investors LLC (Sheridan, WY — commercial — 2023), Esopus Funds Arcadia Investors LLC (Sheridan, WY — commercial — 2023), Esopus Funds Stonebrook Investors LLC (Sheridan, WY — commercial — 2022) and 3 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 8 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $0 sold in total.

Listed alongside Alanna Levine (11 shared filings), Victor Mangona (6 shared filings), Chirag Chaudhari (2 shared filings), Meredith Shur (2 shared filings), Nicole Pele (2 shared filings) and 1 others.

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Esopus (7 issuers, $0 reported sold, 2021–2024) and Light Year (9 issuers, $0 reported sold, 2024–2026).

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 (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 11 public filings for Eli Chess and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Eli Chess appears on 8 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target; 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

3 differences found between the filings for Eli Chess — 1 worth asking about (compared 11 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 11, 2021 – Aug 15, 2024

Eli Chess appears on 8 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target

Willow Funds Florence Investors LLC (last filing Aug 15, 2024; $0 sold of $5,000,000); Willow Funds Miller Broadway Investors LLC (last filing Mar 5, 2024; $0 sold of $17,700,000); Willow Funds Dhanjal Investors LLC (last filing Jul 10, 2023; $0 sold of $5,000,000); Esopus Funds Arcadia Investors LLC (last filing Jun 12, 2023; $0 sold of $5,000,000); Esopus Funds Stonebrook Investors LLC (last filing Nov 7, 2022; $0 sold of $4,000,000); Esopus Funds Ascend Investors LLC (last filing May 9, 2022; $0 sold of $4,000,000); and 2 more.

Sources
Note · Nov 30, 2021 – Dec 6, 2021

Address moved from Brooklyn, NY to Sheridan, WY — Esopus Funds Waterstone Investors LLC

The people listed on the Nov 30, 2021 filing give Brooklyn, NY; on the Dec 6, 2021 filing they give Sheridan, WY. The address now on file (30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 474 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

Sources
Note · Jun 11, 2021 – Aug 15, 2024

Eli Chess is listed with 2 different address states: WY, NY

WY on 8 filings (Jun 11, 2021 to Aug 15, 2024); NY on 3 filings (Nov 30, 2021 to Jul 10, 2023).

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.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 9 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 8 report proceeds to related persons totalling $1,723,875. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).

Deals 8

Every issuer that named Eli Chess on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

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 8 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 Eli Chess by design.
