Generated from EDGAR primary sources

EquityZen Growth Technology Fund LLC - Series 162 is a Delaware-based pooled investment fund filed by EquityZen Advisors LLC on February 7, 2018. The fund raised $1.1M from 45 investors under Rule 506(b) and 3(c)(1) exemptions, with a $10K minimum investment. This is one of approximately 150 related entities managed by the EquityZen platform, which facilitates access to private company equity.

This filing represents a typical special purpose vehicle structure within the private equity category, utilizing the standard 506(b) exemption with a relatively accessible $10K minimum. The fund exhibits characteristics common to series-based SPV platforms that aggregate smaller investors for access to individual private company positions, with the investor count (45) suggesting retail-oriented distribution despite the accredited investor requirement.
