The short version

Robert Lacher is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Sep 2021 and Nov 2021: Visionaries Club Seed Fund I GmbH & Co. KG (Berlin, Germany (as filed: 2M) — pooled investment fund — 2021; $11.2M reported sold to 4 investors), Visionaries Club Growth Fund I GmbH & Co. KG (Berlin, Germany (as filed: 2M) — pooled investment fund — 2021; $10.7M reported sold to 2 investors) and Visionaries Club Late Growth I GmbH & Co. KG (Berlin, Germany (as filed: 2M) — pooled investment fund — 2021; $3.75M reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer. Across those companies the filings report $25.7M sold in total.

Listed alongside Sebastian Pollok (3 shared filings), Visionaries Club Fund I Admin GmbH (3 shared filings, management entity) and Visionaries Club GmbH (3 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 Robert. Each name links to their own page.

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Visionaries Club (3 issuers, $25.7M reported sold, 2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Visionaries Club has 3 companies on file and $25.7M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 9 court cases matching the name, 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 20 records came back, including 2 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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.

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts; live RECAP re-check pending. State courts: not yet searched. PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:49 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not yet searched. No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.
