Reading the filings
- The announced round is larger than the offering it was filed against.The June 2017 Form D reports a $15,109,999 offering with $10,683,766 sold and 23 investors. Press coverage that September put the Series A at $18,000,000. That is $2,890,001 more than the entire offering as filed, and no amendment was filed to reconcile the two figures.
- Fewer investors writing larger checks.2017: $10,683,766 from 23 investors, about $464,500 each. 2021: $6,906,712 from 9, about $767,400 each. 2023: $1,174,682 from 2, about $587,300 each. The syndicate narrowed to a pair of writers by 2023, which is the shape of an insider bridge rather than a priced outside round.
- Only the 2021 offering closed.That filing left $150,000 of $7,056,712 unsold, about 2 percent. The 2017 filing left $4,426,233 and the 2023 filing left $825,318. Across all three, $5,401,551 of $24,166,711 offered was never reported sold.
- The board list tracks the money.In 2017 the related persons are Glasscock, Jon Armstrong, Mark Siegel of Menlo Park and Matthew A. Ocko of Palo Alto, matching the Menlo and DCVC lead. By 2021 the list runs to seven, adding John Kuelper of Ascension Ventures as an executive officer and director. By 2023 it is down to five: Ocko, Armstrong and Vidian are gone.
- No Form D covers the December 2025 investment.EDGAR lists three Form D notices for CIK 0001710475, the latest on Aug 2, 2023. A Form D is due within 15 days of the first sale in a Regulation D offering. More than nine months after the Labcorp and Ascension announcement, none has appeared. An offering placed under Section 4(a)(2) rather than Regulation D requires no notice, so the gap is not evidence that nothing closed, only that nothing was filed.
- The registered address left Missouri.The 2017 and 2021 filings give a St. Louis address. The 2023 filing and the current EDGAR record give 300 Brannan Street, San Francisco, while every press release since carries a St. Louis dateline.
