Clasp, Inc.

What we have established three decisions, kept apart

1. 1 Identity verified Yes

   Form D related persons and the filing’s yearOfInc matched to the public record, plus the exact filer name in the site’s own footer.

   • Form D related persons Amar Jasarbasic and Zach Zhang are the named founders
   • Filing yearOfInc 2023 matches "founded in 2023"
   • clasp.ai footer reads "©Clasp, Inc. 2026" — the exact filer name
   • CIK 2024665 · EIN 93-2984725 · accession 0002024665-26-000006
2. 2 Evidence sufficient to publish Yes

   The inclusion bar: two or more independent sourced evidence families. This profile is published and listed. 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) holds: Base10 Partners LED a $1.5M round in February 2024, announced through the deal counsel, with Bedrock’s Eric Stromberg, Check’s Andrew Brown and Willem Van Lancker named as participants, and the company’s own job listing names Base10, Terrain and Conversion Capital. Leg (b) fails on the single standard: the latest financing event is the $13,249,996 sold on the 2026-10-08 Form D, it is LARGER than every labelled round and its money moved 2.3 years later, so it cannot be a tranche of the 2024 seeds — and no source labels it. Reading the 2024 label forward would be inferring stage from funding history. One announcement naming this round settles it in either direction.

   Venture backing: evidenced · Stage band: not established by any source

   • gunder.com ↗ — The $1.5M February 2024 financing led by Base10 Partners, with participants named.
   • axios.com ↗ — Axios Pro coverage of the same February 2024 round.
   • alleywatch.com ↗ — AlleyWatch reported the $13.2M from the SEC filing on the filing date — same-day public coverage, derived from the same document, not a second source.
   • sec.gov ↗ — $15,249,996 offered, $13,249,996 sold, first sale 2026-09-23. No round name.

   What the filing alone says

   A New York issuer (530 5th Ave Unit 702) sold $13,249,996 of a $15,249,996 Reg D offering, first sale 2026-09-23, filed 2026-10-08, Rule 506(b), seven investors. Related persons: officers and directors only — no investors named. CIK 2024665, yearOfInc 2023. No round name.

   What we add

   The funding history the filing omits (Base10-led seed Feb 2024, with Bedrock, Check and Thrive-adjacent angels named; a May 2024 round whose label two aggregators dispute; totals that disagree $7.88M vs ~$19.7M) and live hiring from its own Ashby board. Struck out after review: "we warn you $2,000,000 is unsold" — the filing states $15,249,996 offered and $13,249,996 sold on its face, so that is the reader’s subtraction, not our contribution. (An earlier brief of ours got it wrong; fixing our own error is not a feature.) Name resolution here is also a direct match and is not claimed as work.

   Still unknown

   • What round the $13.2M IS. No announcement, no name on the filing. The single question that decides the fit verdict.
   • Total raised before it: $7.88M (CB Insights) against ~$19.7M from other aggregators.
   • Who the seven investors are — the filing names officers only.

   Action it supports

   A diligence starting point on a company a buyer may already know, and a concrete question to ask the founders. It does not support sourcing: the raise was reported publicly on the day it was filed.

   Our arrival vs public

   1 day LATE. AlleyWatch published the $13.2M on 2026-10-08, the filing date, from the same document; our discovery decided 2026-10-09.

   Research time

   not tracked

   Unresolved

   • What the $13.2M round IS: no announcement, no round name on the filing. This is the single question that decides this verdict.
   • Total raised before it is uncertain: $7.88M (CB Insights) against ~$19.7M from other aggregators.
   • The round is already closed and was publicly reported the day it was filed, so there would be no timing advantage here even if the fit were established.

   What would overturn this: Any source labelling the $13.2M round. A seed or Series A label makes this company qualified; a Series B or later rules it out. Either way it stops being unknown.

   Assessed 2026-10-11 for seed/Series-A sourcing.
