This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2005, by Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Westech Investment Advisors, Inc., a California corporation (“Westech Advisors”), Ronald W. Swenson, and Salvador O. Gutierrez, with regard to the common shares, $0.001 par value per share, of Venture Lending & Leasing IV, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”). The Schedule 13D is referred to herein as the “Schedule 13D.”

This Amendment is being filed to add Westech Investment Management, Inc., a California corporation (“Westech Management”), as a Reporting Person to the Schedule 13D. This Amendment also reports that Westech Advisors has converted from a California corporation to a California limited liability company named “Westech Investment Advisors LLC” (also referred to herein as “Westech Advisors”). For state law purposes, Westech Investment Advisors LLC is treated as the same entity as Westech Investment Advisors, Inc.

This Amendment amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein; reference is made to the Schedule 13D for information on the matters not specifically addressed in this Amendment. Except as amended and supplemented hereby, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Item 2 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

(a) The Company is the sole shareholder of the Issuer. Westech Advisors is the managing member of the Company and the investment manager of the Issuer. Westech Management owns 100% of the membership interests in Westech Advisors, and each of Messrs. Swenson and Gutierrez owns 50% of the capital stock of Westech Management. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement of the Company, dated as of November 26, 2003, the members of the Company have pass-through voting rights such that if any vote or consent is to be cast or given by the Company as the sole shareholder of the Issuer, then Westech Advisors must first obtain direction from the members of the Company on how to cast such vote or give such consent on behalf of the Company (such operative provisions are attached to the Schedule 13D as Exhibit 6). The required vote or consent of the members to give such direction parallels the vote or consent required of the shareholders of the Issuer (i.e. if a matter requires the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Issuer, then the vote or consent required of the members of the Company is the approval by the holders of two-thirds or more in interest of the members of the Company).

Each of the Company, Westech Advisors, Westech Management and Messrs. Swenson and Gutierrez is referred to herein as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons.” By virtue of Westech Advisors’ position as managing member of the Company, Westech Management’s ownership of the membership interests in Westech Advisors, and the capital stock of Westech Management held by Messrs. Swenson and Gutierrez and their officer and director positions with Westech Advisors, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a Section 13(d) group and are hereby filing a joint Schedule 13D. Each Reporting Person, however, expressly disclaims membership in any group.

The names, business addresses, principal occupations and citizenship of each director and executive officer of Westech Advisors, other than Messrs. Swenson and Gutierrez, are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. For Westech Management, the directors and executive officers are Messrs. Swenson and Gutierrez.

(b) The principal business and office address of each Reporting Person is 2010 North First Street, Suite 310, San Jose, California 95131.


CUSIP No.		NONE	13D	Page		8		of		14 Pages

(c) The principal business of the Company is to acquire and hold all of the Shares. Westech Advisors is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The principal business of Westech Management is to acquire and hold a membership interest in Westech Advisors. Mr. Swenson is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Westech Advisors and the Chairman and a director of the Issuer. Mr. Gutierrez is the President and a director of Westech Advisors and a director of the Issuer.

(d) No Reporting Person or person listed on Schedule A has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) No Reporting Person or person listed on Schedule A has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

(a) The aggregate percentage of common shares of the Issuer reported owned by each Reporting Person is based upon 100,000 common shares outstanding. The Company owns all of the Shares. By reason of its position as managing member of the Company, Westech Advisors may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares.

Westech Management owns 100% of the membership interests of Westech Advisors, and Messrs. Swenson and Gutierrez each own 50% of the outstanding voting capital stock of Westech Management, and are officers and directors of Westech Advisors and Westech Management. By reason of such ownership and, in the case of Messrs. Swenson and Gutierrez, such officer and director positions, Westech Management and Messrs. Swenson and Gutierrez may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares. In addition, by reason of his indirect beneficial ownership of membership interests of the Company, Mr. Swenson may be deemed to beneficially own 680 outstanding common shares of the Issuer (400 shares by reason of membership interests directly or indirectly owned by him and 280 shares by reason of a membership interest of the Company owned by Westech Advisors), constituting 0.68% of the Shares. By reason of his indirect beneficial ownership of membership interests of the Company, Mr. Gutierrez may be deemed to beneficially own 680 outstanding common shares of the Issuer (400 shares by reason of membership interests directly or indirectly owned by him and 280 shares by reason of a membership interest of the Company owned by Westech Advisors), constituting 0.68% of the Shares. Each of Westech Management and Messrs. Swenson and Gutierrez disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in the Company and in Westech Advisors as described herein.

Based on each person’s direct or indirect beneficial ownership of membership interests in the Company, each of Messrs. Cohan and Werdegar may be deemed to beneficially own 120 and 40 common shares of the Issuer, respectively, constituting 0.12% and 0.04% of the Shares, respectively. Each of Messrs. Cohan and Werdegar disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in the Company.

(b) Subject to the pass-through voting rights of the members of the Company discussed above in Item 2, the Company has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares owned by it. By


CUSIP No.		NONE	13D	Page		9		of		14 Pages

reason of its position as managing member of the Company, Westech Advisors may also be deemed to have sole dispositive power with respect to the Shares held by the Company. Because of Westech Advisors’ membership interest in the Company, and Westech Management’s ownership interest in Westech Advisors, Westech Advisors and Westech Management may also be deemed to share voting power with the Company with respect to 280 common shares of the Issuer. By reason of their ownership of the outstanding capital stock of Westech Management and their officer and director positions with Westech Advisors and Westech Management, each of Messrs. Swenson and Gutierrez may be deemed to have sole dispositive power with respect to the Shares held by the Company and to share voting power with the Company with respect to the 280 common shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by Westech Advisors.

Because of each person’s direct or indirect beneficial ownership of membership interests in the Company (as more fully described in (a) above), such person may be deemed to share voting power with the Company with respect to the following number of common shares of the Issuer: (i) Mr. Swenson, 400 common shares of the Issuer, (ii) Mr. Gutierrez, 400 common shares of the Issuer, (iii) Mr. Cohan, 120 common shares of the Issuer, and (vi) Mr. Werdegar, 40 common shares of the Issuer.

(c) There have been no transactions in the Issuer’s common shares in the last sixty days by the Reporting Persons or those persons listed on Schedule A.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons and the members of the Company is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

(e) Not applicable.
