2026 FAN PIER FUND A, L.P.

With zero prior filings on EDGAR, Fan Pier Management is either emerging as a new GP entity or operating previously at a scale below SEC filing thresholds; the 06b exemption (pre-existing relationships only) indicates this is a relationship-driven raise relying on Henken's personal network rather than a broad market pitch, typical of first-time GPs or specialist managers bootstrapping LPs before scaling.

Filing in May 2026 positions this raise into the later half of calendar 2026, when LP allocation cycles tighten ahead of year-end deployment deadlines and GPs typically finalize targets; the placeholder structure suggests the manager is testing the filing window and managing regulatory compliance before the actual fundraising roadshow begins.

Before committing, verify whether Howard Henken has prior PE/VC operating or investment experience outside this entity—his individual naming as GP alongside the LLC creates personal liability exposure and suggests he will be day-to-day operator, making key-person risk and fund continuity contingent on his availability and whether a key-man clause has been negotiated with anchor LPs.
