Fund History
Coalition Operators runs a concentrated pre-seed and seed program, targeting roughly $500,000 per position. Its first vehicle predates the SEC record; the earliest Form D on file is Coalition Operators Fund II, LP, a limited partnership organized in 2025 and noticed to the SEC on February 19, 2025, with an amended filing the following day. The fund elected an indefinite offering amount rather than a stated hard cap, and reported no sales completed as of the filing date. All four general partners are named on the notice as directors and promoters: Ashley Mayer, Toyin Ajayi, Lindsay Ullman and Jaclyn Rice Nelson.
Rather than scale headcount, the firm leans on a bench of more than 100 senior operators who serve as advisors, angels and mentors to portfolio management teams, and it pitches that access as the differentiator against passive seed capital. Disclosed positions include Campus in higher education financing, Revive in apparel resale and inventory management, and Solace in healthcare navigation and patient advocacy.

A Form D is the notice a fund files with the SEC when it raises money in a private offering. Feeder funds, parallel funds and SPVs each file their own, so the count measures filing activity, not the number of flagship funds.
