Questions About ECE Growth Fund III, LLC

Each answer is built from the values on the SEC filing and the AltStreet ledger, not from the issuer's marketing.

What is ECE Growth Fund III, LLC?

ECE Growth Fund III, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company that filed a Form D with the SEC on April 28, 2023 in the Commercial industry group. The filing claims Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(1) for an offering of equity and pooled investment fund interests.

Is ECE Growth Fund III, LLC legit?

AltStreet does not rate legitimacy; it reports the public record. ECE Growth Fund III, LLC filed a Form D with the SEC on April 28, 2023 claiming Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(1). A Form D is a notice of an exempt offering, not a review or approval of it. The newest notice reports $4,945,000 sold to 58 investors. AltStreet's enforcement record (SEC, FINRA and state actions) shows no action naming the issuer as of today. Before investing, confirm the filing on EDGAR, check the seller's registration on FINRA BrokerCheck, and read the offering documents, which a Form D does not include.

Is ECE Growth Fund III, LLC registered with or approved by the SEC?

No. A Form D is a notice that an issuer is selling securities under an exemption from registration, and the SEC does not review, approve, or pass on the merits of the offering. The filing shows that ECE Growth Fund III, LLC claimed Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(1) and disclosed the items the form requires, such as the amount sold, the minimum investment, related persons, and anyone paid to sell the securities. It does not verify the issuer's claims or its business.
