The short version

Kai Wu is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 5 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Oct 2015 and Jan 2018: KALEIDOSCOPE PRISM FUND LP (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2015–2018; $104.6M reported sold to 35 investors) and KALEIDOSCOPE SPECTRUM FUND LP (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2016–2017; $94.5M reported sold to 12 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and promoter, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $199.1M sold in total.

Listed alongside Kaleidoscope Capital LP (5 shared filings, management entity), Kaleidoscope GP LP (5 shared filings, management entity) and Nick Nanda (5 shared filings).

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Kaleidoscope Prism (8 issuers, $758.7M reported sold, 2015–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Kaleidoscope Prism has 8 companies on file and $758.7M 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 5 public filings for Kai Wu and found 6 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Kai Wu is no longer listed on the Jan 24, 2019 amendment; Kai Wu is no longer listed on the Dec 6, 2018 amendment; 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.

Same name, different state: "Kai Wu" (K3) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MA. A separate record, "Kai Wu" with address state K3, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Sinovation Fund V, L.P. (Nov 14, 2022). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Oct 16, 2015 to Jan 24, 2018; the other runs Nov 16, 2021 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.

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
