The short version

Ian Patrick Sobieski is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Sep 2009: Band of Angels Acorn Fund, LLC (Menlo Park, CA — pooled investment fund — 2009; $3M reported sold to 11 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Sep 2009. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 3 court cases matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 records 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 1 public filing for Ian Patrick Sobieski and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 88 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

2 differences found between the filings for Ian Patrick Sobieski — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 25, 2009 – Sep 21, 2009

Form D filed 88 days after the first sale — Band of Angels Acorn Fund, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 25, 2009. The Form D was filed Sep 21, 2009 — 88 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 73 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.

Form D · Sep 21, 2009 ↗Band of Angels Acorn Fund, LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jun 25, 2009 – Sep 21, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Band of Angels Acorn Fund, LLC (latest filing Sep 21, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 21, 2009 (first sale Jun 25, 2009). It reports $3,000,000 sold of $6,000,000 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.

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 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $75,000. (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.
