The short version

Idw is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address; automatic match from the filings), filing 5 Form D filings between Aug 2016 and Aug 2021.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 5 years of track record in SEC filings. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.

Combined reported sold: $116.5M to 43 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Business Services (1), Biotechnology (1). Issuers are based in NJ (2).

What this means $116.5M raised across the group, about $2.71M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Howard S. Jonas (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Allan I. Grafman (1 issuer, director), Ameet Mallik (1 issuer, executive officer and director), Boris C. Pasche (1 issuer, director), Christopher J. McGurk (1 issuer, director) and 18 more.

What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Aug 26, 2021.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — none found. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

What the community is saying

Nothing found on Reddit, BiggerPockets or community forums for high-net-worth investors (searched Oct 24, 2026) — search queued; this line updates when it has run.

Community comments are quoted as written by their authors. Sources searched: BiggerPockets forums (via DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing and BiggerPockets search) and Reddit (search feed + public archive).

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across all 2 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).
