The short version

Phobos is a management entity listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Oct 2021 and Apr 2023: Math & Magic K2, LLC (Studio City, CA — pooled investment fund — 2023; $10M reported sold to 1 investors), Math & Magic XIX LLC (Studio City, CA — pooled investment fund — 2023; $1M reported sold to 1 investors), Math & Magic XVIII LLC (Studio City, CA — pooled investment fund — 2021; $1M reported sold to 1 investors) and Math & Magic XX, LLC (Studio City, CA — pooled investment fund — 2023; $150K reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 2 years. Across those companies the filings report $12.1M sold in total.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

All 4 issuers belong to the sponsor group Math (4 issuers, $12.1M reported sold, 2021–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Math has 4 companies on file and $12.1M 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 4 public filings for Phobos and found 3 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 579 days after the first sale; Form D filed 631 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

3 differences found between the filings for Phobos — 3 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 29, 2021 – Feb 28, 2023

Form D filed 579 days after the first sale — Math & Magic XX, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 29, 2021. The Form D was filed Feb 28, 2023 — 579 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 564 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.

Form D filed 631 days after the first sale — Math & Magic XIX LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 7, 2021. The Form D was filed Feb 28, 2023 — 631 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 616 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.

Worth asking · Apr 30, 2021 – Oct 14, 2021

Form D filed 167 days after the first sale — Math & Magic XVIII LLC

The filing says the first sale was Apr 30, 2021. The Form D was filed Oct 14, 2021 — 167 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 152 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

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

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