Own AXV portfolio describes JetZero vehicle AXV SPV II, LLC and labels Series B as 2025; issuer dates the approximately USD 175 million round January 13, 2026. Store issuer date, qualify manager timing discrepancy, and leave fund allocation unset pending exact vehicle proof. AXV’s own JavaScript team publishes 25 individuals including 17 strategic advisers; advisers’ outside employer captions are biographies. Jay Velasco’s October 2, 2026 self-authored departure supersedes his stale Head of Platform directory listing. No unverified historical colleague list is asserted as current membership.
