Generated from EDGAR primary sources

EquityZen Growth Technology Fund LLC - Series 1597 is a Delaware-based pooled investment fund filed by EquityZen Advisors LLC and Philip Haslett on March 28, 2023. The vehicle raised $793K from 30 investors under Regulation D exemptions 506(b) and 3(c)(1), with a $1K minimum investment. It is part of the EquityZen platform, which operates approximately 150 related fund entities focused on private equity investments.

This filing represents a typical private equity SPV structure using the 506(b) exemption combined with 3(c)(1) Investment Company Act exclusion, common for pooled vehicles with up to 100 accredited investors. The $1K minimum investment is unusually low for private equity offerings, which typically require $25K-$100K+ minimums, suggesting a platform-enabled model designed for broader accredited investor access.
