The short version

Jonathan Abrams is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Dec 2019 and Jun 2024: 8-Bit Capital I, L.P. (San Francisco, CA — pooled investment fund — 2019–2021; $40M reported sold to 189 investors) and 8-Bit Capital II, L.P. (San Francisco, CA — pooled investment fund — 2024).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $40M sold in total.

Listed alongside Kent Lindstrom (3 shared filings), 8-Bit Capital GP I, LLC (2 shared filings, management entity) and 8-Bit Capital GP II, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity).

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group 8 Bit (2 issuers, $40M reported sold, 2019–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. 8 Bit has 2 companies on file and $40M 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, 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) — 1 state regulator order, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 3 public filings for Jonathan Abrams and found 2 differences: Jonathan Abrams appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; Offering amount changed between filings.

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-Bit Capital II, L.P. (last filing Jun 24, 2024; $0 sold of $60,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

Sources
Note · Dec 2, 2019 – Nov 3, 2021

Offering amount changed between filings — 8-Bit Capital I, L.P.

The Dec 2, 2019 filing says $25,000,000 offered; the Nov 3, 2021 Form D/A says $40,035,000.

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.

Registrations and other filings

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.

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 2 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.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Jonathan Abrams by design.
