The short version

Joseph Hegener is listed as an executive officer on 9 SEC Form D filings by 6 issuers between Jan 2021 and May 2026. Largest by amount reported sold: Asterozoa Ventures, LP (Phoenix, AZ — pooled investment fund — 2021–2024; $24.5M reported sold to 100 investors), Asterozoa Special Fund I LLC (Phoenix, AZ — pooled investment fund — 2023–2024; $8.9M reported sold to 48 investors), AV Institutional Fund, LP (Phoenix, AZ — pooled investment fund — 2024; $3.59M reported sold to 15 investors), DPV Energy Investors, LP (Phoenix, AZ — pooled investment fund — 2026), Desert Star Holdings Fund LP (Phoenix, AZ — pooled investment fund — 2026) and 1 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 6 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $37M sold in total.

Listed alongside Asterozoa Management, LLC (2 shared filings, management entity), DPV Energy Management, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity) and Desert Star Holdings Group 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 Joseph. Each name links to their own page.

All 6 issuers belong to the sponsor group Asterozoa (7 issuers, $38.1M reported sold, 2021–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Asterozoa has 7 companies on file and $38.1M 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 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 9 public filings for Joseph Hegener and found 10 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Investor count went down between filings; Form D filed 313 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

10 differences found between the filings for Joseph Hegener — 3 worth asking about (compared 9 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 26, 2023 – Aug 5, 2024

Investor count went down between filings — Asterozoa Special Fund I LLC

The Apr 26, 2023 filing reports 48 investors; the Aug 5, 2024 Form D/A reports 46 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Worth asking · Oct 1, 2023 – Aug 9, 2024

Form D filed 313 days after the first sale — AV Institutional Fund, LP

The filing says the first sale was Oct 1, 2023. The Form D was filed Aug 9, 2024 — 313 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 298 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Worth asking · Aug 11, 2022 – Apr 26, 2023

Form D filed 258 days after the first sale — Asterozoa Special Fund I LLC

The filing says the first sale was Aug 11, 2022. The Form D was filed Apr 26, 2023 — 258 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 243 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Note · Oct 1, 2023 – Aug 9, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — AV Institutional Fund, LP (latest filing Aug 9, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 9, 2024 (first sale Oct 1, 2023). It reports $3,589,064 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.

Sources
Note · Aug 11, 2022 – Aug 5, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Asterozoa Special Fund I LLC (latest filing Aug 5, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 5, 2024 (first sale Aug 11, 2022). It reports $8,905,000 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.

Note · Sep 28, 2022 – Feb 28, 2024

Same name, different state: "Joseph Hegener" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NV or AZ. A separate record, "Joseph Hegener" with address state CA, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Safer Sports, Inc. (Feb 28, 2024). Both records have filings in the same period (Apr 26, 2023 to Feb 28, 2024).

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.

Sources
Note · Mar 30, 2023 – Aug 5, 2024

Address moved from Las Vegas, NV to Phoenix, AZ — Asterozoa Ventures, LP

The people listed on the Mar 30, 2023 filing give Las Vegas, NV; on the Aug 5, 2024 filing they give Phoenix, AZ.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
Note · Jan 8, 2021 – May 21, 2026

Joseph Hegener is listed with 2 different address states: NV, AZ

NV on 2 filings (Jan 8, 2021 to Mar 30, 2023); AZ on 7 filings (Apr 26, 2023 to May 21, 2026).

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
Note · Jan 8, 2021 – Mar 30, 2023

Minimum investment changed between filings — Asterozoa Ventures, LP

The Jan 8, 2021 filing lists a minimum of $500,000; the Mar 30, 2023 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
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.

"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.
