Every sentence is a value as filed on SEC Form D

ARCH Venture Fund IX, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 2016 that first filed a Form D on March 17, 2016 and most recently amended it on November 18, 2016, describing itself as a venture capital fund. The offering claims Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(1), Section 3(c)(7) and covers pooled investment fund interests. ARCH Venture Fund IX, L.P. reported $408,385,714 sold from 19 investors of a $550,000,000 total offering as of the Form D filed November 18, 2016. The offering relies on Rule 506(b), which permits sales to accredited investors and to no more than 35 non-accredited investors who meet a sophistication standard, and prohibits general solicitation. The filing checks both Section 3(c)(1), which caps the fund at 100 beneficial owners, and Section 3(c)(7), which requires every investor to be a qualified purchaser, generally an individual with at least $5 million in investments. A fund normally relies on one or the other. The filing reports no non-accredited investors. The filing lists the minimum investment as $0, meaning no minimum was stated. The Form D names no recipient of sales compensation, which usually means the issuer or its affiliates are placing the securities directly. Sales commissions are reported as $0 and finders' fees as $0. Form D allows these to be estimates. The issuer's address of record is 8755 W. Higgins Road, Suite 1025, Chicago, IL 60631.
