What we have established three decisions, kept apart

  1. 1 Identity verified Yes

    Form D related persons matched to the company’s named officers.

    • Form D related persons Ari Zebersky and Dylan Karofsky are negosh.com’s CEO and co-founder/COO
    • CIK 2158626 · accession 0002158626-26-000001 · Delaware · inc. 2022
    • Formerly BIP; the rebrand to Negosh.com is reported by the licensing trade press
  2. 2 Evidence sufficient to publish Not yet

    The inclusion bar: two or more independent sourced evidence families. This profile is reachable but not in the ranked index. It is a statement about how much evidence we hold, and about nothing else.

  3. 3 Fit for a seed/Series-A sourcing buyer Not established

    We have not established fit. That is not a soft no and not a soft yes — it is unknown, and it is never counted as a qualified prospect.

    Leg (a) is not established: no institutional venture investor is identified in any source we reached. That is the absence of a finding, NOT a finding of absence — the only funding record found is a Dealroom entry under the former name BIP showing a $1.0M ANGEL round with the investor field blank and the total behind a sign-in. Leg (b) also fails: the latest financing event is the $3,091,664 offering and no source labels it. The $25,000 minimum and the full subscription are facts about the offering, not about stage, and are recorded without being used.

    Venture backing: none found · Stage band: not established by any source

    • app.dealroom.co ↗ — Dealroom, under the former name BIP: a $1.0M angel round, investor field blank, total funding behind a sign-in. Its summary is AI-generated.
    • brandsuntapped.com ↗ — Founder interview: origins, the NFT-IP pivot, and how the marketplace works.
    • sec.gov ↗ — $3,091,664 offered and sold, $25,000 minimum, first sale 2026-09-23.
    What the filing alone says
    A New York issuer (127 W 26th St Unit 400) offered and sold $3,091,664 in full, first sale 2026-09-23, filed 2026-10-08, $25,000 minimum, eight investors, inc. 2022 Delaware. Related persons: Ari Zebersky, Dylan Karofsky.
    What we add
    One thing that needs research rather than reading: the company’s PRIOR IDENTITY. It was BIP, rebranded to Negosh.com in October 2023, and started as an NFT-IP marketplace before pivoting to brand licensing — which is why its only funding record sits under a different name and would be missed by anyone searching the filer name. Struck out after review: the Glen Ellyn / L3-ISRAEL address anomaly and the New York vs Florida conflict are both visible on the filing itself.
    Still unknown
    • Who the eight investors are. The filing names officers only.
    • Whether any institutional investor has ever participated.
    • Whether the 800+ brands / 1000+ licensees on the site are verifiable — they are the company’s own marketing and we did not verify them.
    Action it supports
    A qualification call to find out who funded it. Nothing stronger: we cannot tell a buyer whether this is a venture-track company.
    Our arrival vs public
    1 day LATE. AlleyWatch published this raise on 2026-10-08, the filing date, from the same document.
    Research time
    not tracked
    Unresolved
    • Who the eight investors in the $3,091,664 offering are — the filing names officers only.
    • Whether any institutional investor participated in the earlier $1.0M round.
    • Location conflicts across sources (New York on the filing and LinkedIn; Fort Lauderdale on Dealroom; the filing’s phone is a 954 Florida number).

    What would overturn this: One named institutional venture investor in any round.

No reported round on record.
Filed reality · Tier 0 · SEC
1 Form D
latest filed 2026-10-08 · none near the reported round

The company has Form D filings on record that our reported-funding data does not cover. That is a gap in OUR funding data and not evidence that the raise went unreported — trade press reads EDGAR too, and two of the three companies in our first Form D batch were published by a funding newsletter on the day they filed, from the same documents. What the filing establishes is listed below; the stage of the round, and whether it is news, are not established by it.

Regulatory filings SEC EDGAR · primary source

Form D filings — the company's own authoritative record of a Reg D private raise, filed with the SEC. Primary-source evidence: not commentary, not inference. 1 filing, latest filed 2026-10-08. A Form D is filed after the sale, so the filing date is when the notice reached the SEC — not when the round closed. Where the issuer stated a first-sale date it is shown beside it, and a D/A amends an earlier offering rather than reporting a new one.

Financing events four different events, four different dates

A first sale, a filing, an amendment and a public announcement are not the same event, and one date may not stand in for another. Where the latest financing date cannot be established from what we hold, this says unknown rather than substituting a date we do have.

The issuer's own first-sale date on its D is 2026-09-23: the FIRST dollar of this offering. The filing does not date the last one, so money moved on or after 2026-09-23 and the reported total had been reached by 2026-10-08.
