The short version

Ran Zhou is listed as an executive officer on 19 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Nov 2018 and Jan 2026: Electron Infrastructure Fund, L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2018–2025; $576.4M reported sold to 33 investors), Electron Infrastructure Fund, Ltd. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2018–2025; $392.3M reported sold to 19 investors) and Electron New Energy Fund, L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2023–2026; $46.2M reported sold to 9 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 8 years. Across those companies the filings report $1.01B sold in total.

Listed alongside Aaron Keller (19 shared filings), Electron Capital Partners, LLC (19 shared filings, management entity), James Shaver (19 shared filings), Jeff Zheng (19 shared filings), Neil Choi (19 shared filings) and 4 others.

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

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Electron (6 issuers, $2.88B reported sold, 2013–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Electron has 6 companies on file and $2.88B 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 19 public filings for Ran Zhou and found 1 difference: Same name, different state: "Ran Zhou" (FL) is a separate record.

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

1 difference found between the filings for Ran Zhou (compared 19 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 7, 2026

Same name, different state: "Ran Zhou" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "Ran Zhou" with address state FL, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by AERSTREAM INC (Oct 7, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Nov 14, 2018 to Jan 14, 2026; the other has one filing dated Oct 7, 2026.

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

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).
