The short version

Niraj Shah is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 10 SEC Form D filings by 6 issuers between Mar 2024 and Sep 2026. Largest by amount reported sold: Otro Capital Fund I-A, LP (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2024–2026; $717.6M reported sold to 84 investors), Otro Capital Fund I-B, LP (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2024–2026; $62.4M reported sold to 14 investors), Otro SB Co-Investment, LP (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2026), Otro OD Co-Investment, LP (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2026), Otro UU Co-Investment, LP (New York, NY — 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 and promoter, over about 2 years. Across those companies the filings report $780M sold in total.

Listed alongside Alec Scheiner (10 shared filings), Brent Stehlik (10 shared filings) and Isaac Halyard (10 shared filings).

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

All 6 issuers belong to the sponsor group Otro (7 issuers, $780M reported sold, 2024–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Otro has 7 companies on file and $780M 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 10 public filings for Niraj Shah and found 5 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: August Advisors Inc; 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: "Niraj Shah" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "Niraj Shah" with address state TX, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Stokes Rd Investment Partners, LP (Nov 7, 2025). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 27, 2024 to Nov 7, 2025).

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.

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.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
