"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

"Similar" = offerings in the same industry claiming the same exemption, filed in the last 5 years: Pooled Investment Fund / 506(b) (83,801 filings); Other / 506(c) (1,881 filings); Investing / 506(b) (2,521 filings); Other / 506(b) (18,678 filings); ranges are the middle half (25th–75th percentile).
