Insights
TL;DR: Reporting persons hold a meaningful passive stake (6.2%) in Dave Inc., disclosed under Schedule 13G.
The filing indicates an aggregated 6.2% shared beneficial ownership position (755,038 shares) by Divisadero Street entities and William Zolezzi, with Divisadero Street Partners holding 610,511 shares (5.1%). Classification as Schedule 13G implies the holders state the position is passive and not intended to influence control. Ownership is via advisory client accounts, and no sole voting or dispositive power is claimed. For investors, this is a material ownership disclosure but does not signal an activist intent.
TL;DR: Ownership exceeds the 5% reporting threshold but is presented as passive with no sole control.
The report properly identifies the reporting entities and beneficial owner, documents shared voting and dispositive power rather than sole control, and includes required exhibits (Joint Filing Agreement; Control Person Identification). The certification states the shares were not acquired to change control, consistent with a Schedule 13G filing. From a governance standpoint, the position is material by size but does not, per the filing, indicate coordinated activist actions.
