Amulyte

A 2013 Y Combinator company that raised a small seed round, then opened an equity crowdfunding campaign seeking up to $2 million. No SEC Form D was found under the company’s name, and the totals reported by data aggregators do not agree with each other.

What the filings show

No SEC Form D was found for Amulyte, Inc. or for any investment vehicle formed around it. That absence does not by itself mean no Regulation D offering was ever filed; it means none turned up in the sources checked for this page. It is also consistent with the company’s own account of its capital, which centers on a Y Combinator seed check and a Wefunder crowdfunding campaign rather than a traditional Reg D round.

Reading the reported numbers

  1. The public numbers do not match each other.MassDevice reported $250,000 in venture capital raised as of September 2013. CB Insights, in a much later snapshot, lists total funding of $20,000 attributed to Y Combinator. Neither figure is confirmed by a Form D or other primary filing, and the two are five figures apart with no reconciling detail in either source.
  2. The crowdfunding target was large relative to the seed.A $2 million Wefunder target against a reported $250,000 already raised would have meant an eightfold jump in capital. No source found here states whether the campaign closed, partially closed, or was withdrawn.
  3. The absence of a Form D is itself a data point.Companies raising under certain exemptions, or raising amounts and through vehicles that did not trigger a federal notice filing, can show no Form D at all. Amulyte’s small reported dollar figures and its 2013 to 2014 timeline fall in the range where that is plausible, but it cannot be confirmed either way from the sources checked.
  4. PitchBook’s own seed-round entry is incomplete.PitchBook dates a seed round to January 1, 2013 but the amount is not shown in the archived snapshot used for this page; the same snapshot dates the company’s move to out-of-business status at February 1, 2017, four years later.
