Generated from EDGAR primary sources

EquityZen Growth Opportunity Fund VIII LLC - Series 1 is a Delaware pooled investment fund filed by EquityZen Advisors LLC that has raised $4.4M from 85 investors under Rule 506(b) and Section 3(c)(1). The minimum investment is $2,000, and this is an amended filing. EquityZen operates a private equity platform with approximately 150 related EDGAR entities focused on secondary market transactions in private company shares.

This 506(b) private equity fund features a $2,000 minimum investment, substantially lower than typical institutional private equity minimums of $250K+, consistent with EquityZen's retail-accessible secondary market model. The 3(c)(1) exemption limits the fund to 100 beneficial owners, and with 85 investors already, the vehicle is near capacity.
