Generated from EDGAR primary sources

EquityZen Growth Technology Fund LLC - Series 257 is a Delaware-based pooled investment fund filed by EquityZen Advisors LLC as an amended Form D on 2018-08-08. The vehicle raised $279K from 18 investors under Rule 506(b) and Section 3(c)(1) exemptions, with a $10K minimum investment. This is part of EquityZen's platform of pre-IPO secondary market SPVs, with 1,891 related entities on record.

This pre-IPO fund employs the standard 506(b)/3(c)(1) exemption structure typical of sub-$1M special purpose vehicles targeting accredited retail investors. The $10K minimum and sub-$300K raise are consistent with EquityZen's model of fractionalizing access to late-stage private company shares through pooled vehicles.
