The short version

Rob Lavet is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers in Nov 2012: SoFi Fund for the Rice University Community, LLC (San Francisco, CA — other banking and financial services — 2012; $500K reported sold to 1 investors) and SoFi Fund for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Community, LLC (San Francisco, CA — other banking and financial services — 2012; $100K reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer. Across those companies the filings report $600K sold in total.

Listed alongside Jim Finnigan (2 shared filings), Michael Cagney (2 shared filings), Saturnino Fanlo (2 shared filings) and SoFi Capital Advisors, LLC (2 shared filings, management entity).

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Sofi (47 issuers, $3.35B reported sold, 2008–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Sofi has 47 companies on file and $3.35B 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) — 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 records 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 2 public filings for Rob Lavet and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Rob Lavet is no longer listed on the Dec 6, 2012 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

4 differences found between the filings for Rob Lavet — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 16, 2012 – Dec 6, 2012

Rob Lavet is no longer listed on the Dec 6, 2012 amendment — SoFi Fund for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Community, LLC

Rob Lavet appears on the Nov 16, 2012 Form D (executive officer) but not on the Dec 6, 2012 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Sources
Note · Oct 30, 2012 – Nov 16, 2012

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — SoFi Fund for the Rice University Community, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Oct 30, 2012. The Form D was filed Nov 16, 2012 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 26, 2012 – Nov 16, 2012

Form D filed 21 days after the first sale — SoFi Fund for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Community, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Oct 26, 2012. The Form D was filed Nov 16, 2012 — 21 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 6 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 30, 2012 – Nov 16, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SoFi Fund for the Rice University Community, LLC (latest filing Nov 16, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 16, 2012 (first sale Oct 30, 2012). It reports $500,000 sold of an indefinite amount offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Sources
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

2 of 2 offerings report sales commissions totalling $7,875; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons.

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).
