What the filings show
No Form D notice for this company was found on SEC EDGAR. A company search of EDGAR for filers whose name starts with “Ember,” “Ember AI,” “Ember Copilot,” or “Wisdom Inc” (the byline attached to the company’s own Nov 19, 2025 wire release) returned no Form D filings tied to a healthcare revenue cycle company. A separate full text search of EDGAR for “embercopilot” and for “Ember AI” as Form D text also returned zero hits, both checked Sept 25, 2026.
The pre-collected EDGAR sweep behind this profile lists more than 80 Form D notices mentioning some variant of “Ember,” none of which describe this company. They belong to a smart-mug maker (EMBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., CIK 0001636781), a cocaine use disorder drug developer (Ember Therapeutics, Inc., CIK 0001537900), several private equity and infrastructure funds (the Ember Infrastructure Fund family and Red Ember Partners), a crypto index fund (Ember Fund, Inc.), a hedge fund (Balance Ember Fund), an apparel company (Echoes and Ember, Inc.), a healthcare MSO unrelated to this platform (Ember Health MSO, LLC, CIK 0001823122, North Carolina), and a Delaware entity called Ember Health Inc. (CIK 0002139026) that filed a Form D in June 2026 from a Summerfield, North Carolina address, not the San Francisco or Burlingame address this company uses.
Reading the filings
- The absence of a Form D does not mean no money moved.Companies raising through Section 4(a)(2), or through SPVs formed for a single deal, are not always required to file, or may file under a vehicle name unrelated to the operating brand.
- Tracxn’s total is bigger than the announced seed.Tracxn counts $4.8M raised across two rounds against a single publicly announced $4.3M seed, a gap of about $500,000 that suggests an earlier round, most likely an angel or pre-seed close around the company’s 2024 Y Combinator batch, that was never separately announced.
- The legal entity name is a lead worth following.The Nov 19, 2025 GlobeNewswire release lists its author as “Wisdom Inc,” and Tracxn’s legal-entity table for this company lists a matching entity, “WISDOM INC.” A search of EDGAR for “Wisdom” as a company name prefix, filtered to Form D, returned zero results as of Sept 25, 2026, so this does not resolve the gap.
- The seed round is recent enough that a Form D could still land.A Form D is due within 15 days of a first sale under Rule 506(b). If the seed’s first sale postdates the Nov 19, 2025 announcement, a filing could appear after this profile was compiled.
- Revenue estimates and funding estimates disagree in scale.GetLatka estimates $330,000 in 2025 revenue and lists $0 in reported funding, missing the $4.3M seed entirely; this illustrates how unreliable third-party revenue and funding estimates can be for a company with no SEC paper trail to check them against.

What to watch
- A Form D filed under the company’s actual legal name, which would confirm deal size, investor count, and any related persons.
- Whether Tracxn’s $4.8M total gets a matching announcement or filing for the round not covered by the Nov 2025 seed.
- Whether the VA and the unnamed pediatric system Fierce Healthcare cited are named or quoted directly by the company.
- A Series A or similar round following the November 2025 seed.
