EquityZen Growth Technology Fund LLC - Series 1996 is a Delaware-organized pooled investment fund filed by EquityZen Advisors LLC and Phil Haslett, raising $220K from 13 investors under Regulation D Rule 506(b) and 3(c)(1) exemptions with a $10K minimum investment. The filing, dated August 2025, is part of EquityZen's pre-IPO access platform, which operates nearly 1,900 related entities providing secondary market exposure to private growth companies.

This pre-IPO fund follows the standard EquityZen series structure, using dual 506(b) and 3(c)(1) exemptions common to small pooled vehicles targeting accredited investors. The $10K minimum investment positions it at the accessible retail-accredited tier, consistent with EquityZen's model of democratizing private company exposure through low-entry single-company SPVs.
