What the filings show

No Form D notice has been located under the names Avora or ShowAndTell in SEC EDGAR’s company search as of September 25, 2026. A company search for “Avora” returns exactly one filer: Avora Holdings, Ltd., CIK 0001883440, which filed a Form D on September 22, 2021 from an address in Woodinville, Washington. That filing predates this company’s 2024 founding by three years and its industry classification has no connection to dentistry. It is treated here as an unrelated entity that happens to share a name.

Reading the filings

1. There is no Form D to read.The company that operates getavora.ai has not filed, under either of its known names, a Regulation D notice with the SEC. Companies that raise under other exemptions, or that have not yet crossed a reporting threshold, can lawfully have no Form D on file, so the absence does not by itself mean no money changed hands.
2. The dollar figure comes from one release, repeated.The $2.3 million seed figure traces to a single Group Dentistry Now piece, explicitly labeled a sponsored press release, published June 15, 2026. Dealroom’s coverage the same day cites Group Dentistry Now as its source rather than an independent check of the raise.
3. The August 2025 announcement already claimed CRV backing.Ten months before the seed figure was announced, Avora described itself in its launch release as already backed by Y Combinator and CRV, without a dollar amount. Whether that reflects the same $2.3 million later disclosed, an earlier tranche, or simply looser language about investor relationships is not resolved by the public record.
4. The investor list mixes a lead and scouts.CRV is named as lead, with Y Combinator and unnamed scouts from Sequoia and Thrive also participating. Scout money is typically a small check written by an individual on behalf of a larger fund, and none of the three funds involved have issued their own statement on the round as of this writing.
5. Headcount is small relative to the customer claims.Y Combinator’s company page lists a team of 4 as of its last update, against company claims of hundreds of practices using the product and nearly 100 in its implementation pipeline as of August 2025.

Commercial signals

What to watch

• A Form D filing under Avora’s name, which would be the first SEC-level confirmation of any round size.
• Whether the $2.3 million figure is corrected, amended, or contradicted by a later company statement.
• Reporting on the round from an outlet that did not source its figures from Group Dentistry Now’s sponsored release.
• Team size and named-customer growth relative to the claimed practice counts.
