VELOCITY CATALYST FUND I-A, LP

Absence of prior EDGAR filings means this is the manager's first registered raise, making the 06c exemption election (for funds under $150M with fewer than 100 LPs) the natural choice for a bootstrap-stage deployment avoiding full reporting overhead—this is a manager building infrastructure from scratch rather than expanding an existing franchise.

Verify whether Desiree Vargas Wrigley has non-compete or key-person restrictions tied to prior employment, as first-time manager debuts without institutional co-GP infrastructure frequently face LP due diligence on continuity; additionally, confirm whether the 9% close represents a single LP or multiple commitments, as concentration at this early stage affects your ability to add capital later.
