The short version

Ye Chen is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Nov 2025 and Jun 2026: BP Crusoe LP (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — pooled investment fund — 2025; $5.1M reported sold to 7 investors), BP Neuralink LP (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — pooled investment fund — 2026; $880K reported sold to 8 investors) and BP OpenAI LP (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — pooled investment fund — 2026).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director. Across those companies the filings report $5.98M sold in total.

Listed alongside Brilliant Phoenix GP Inc. (2 shared filings, management entity), Chunhua Wu (2 shared filings) and CY Horizon Holdings LLC (1 shared filing, management entity).

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

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Brilliant Phoenix (3 issuers, $5.98M reported sold, 2025–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Brilliant Phoenix has 3 companies on file and $5.98M 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 court case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 3 public filings for Ye Chen and found 1 difference: Form D filed 27 days after the first sale.

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 Ye Chen (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 30, 2025 – Jan 26, 2026

Form D filed 27 days after the first sale — BP Neuralink LP

The filing says the first sale was Dec 30, 2025. The Form D was filed Jan 26, 2026 — 27 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 12 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
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.
