Reading the filings
- The only offering on the record raised nothing.The Form C set a $25,000 target and a $1,235,000 maximum with an April 30, 2023 deadline. The Form C-W landed on April 11, 43 days after the Form C and 19 days before that deadline. Kingscrowd, which tracked the campaign, records it as not funded at $0.
- There is no Form D anywhere for this company.Ten years of operation, a Y Combinator batch and an announced Series A produced zero Regulation D notices under CIK 0001949369. The single Form D under the name belongs to an unrelated Cayman Islands issuer, CIK 0001681660, which sold $4,000,000 of a $7,750,000 offering to 3 investors in 2016, about $1,333,333 each. Issuers raising under Section 4(a)(2) file no Form D, so the absence does not mean no money moved. It does mean nothing is verifiable.
- Two million dollars of revenue bought half a million of loss reduction.Revenue went from $0 to $2,014,066 between the two years in the Form C, while the net loss narrowed from $2,278,343 to $1,772,158, an improvement of $506,185. The other roughly $1.5M went into costs. Kingscrowd read the later year as 2021, which puts the company at a $147,700 monthly burn and 12.3 months of runway on the same data.
- The balance sheet turned inside that year.Cash went from $13,453 to $1,810,709 and total assets from $910,015 to $3,722,376, while total debt fell from $1,408,783 to $475,665, a reduction of $933,118. That pattern fits an equity round landing in the period, which is what the May 2021 Series A announcement describes, and which no Form D records.
- Receivables were almost nothing.Accounts receivable of $14,066 against $2,014,066 of revenue is 0.7 percent, roughly two and a half days of sales. Revenue is reported as exactly $2,000,000 above receivables. The filing does not break revenue out by customer or by product.
- The valuation was company set.Kingscrowd records a $45,000,000 valuation on a Crowd SAFE whose price determination method the Form C states as arbitrary. Against $2,014,066 of revenue that is about 22 times revenue, asked of retail investors on a portal, three months before the offering was pulled.

What to watch
- A Form D. It is due within 15 days of the first sale in any new Regulation D offering.
- A new Form C. Because the 2023 offering was withdrawn before any sale, no annual Form C-AR obligation followed, which is why the public financial record stops at the two years in that filing.
- A named customer, or any revenue figure later than the one in the Form C.
