The short version

Pear is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address; automatic match from the filings), filing 4 Form D filings between Mar 2014 and May 2015.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 1 year 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: $24.3M to 81 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Other Technology (1), Pooled Investment Fund (1). Issuers are based in CA (2).

What this means $24.3M raised across the group, about $300K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Robert G. Allison (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Alan Wade Pettis (1 issuer, executive officer), Jeff P. Conner (1 issuer, executive officer), John J. Gallagher (1 issuer, director), Kristian Rauhala (1 issuer, executive officer and director) and 7 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 May 27, 2015.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 3 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 4 public filings for Pear and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 751 days after the first sale; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:16 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.

2. Regulatory actions

None found in sources searched — SEC enforcement releases (index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET) · state securities regulators: AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA (crawled Oct 23, 2026)

What was searched

SEC enforcement searched: SEC litigation releases and administrative proceedings — respondent names in the sec.gov index titles (30,205 releases, 1995-09-19 to 2026-10-23); release text is read only to confirm a candidate. Names that appear only in the body of a release are not found. — Searched SEC litigation releases and administrative proceedings (1995→ / 2007→) (30,205 records as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET) — nothing matched Pear..

State securities regulators searched: AZ (Corporation Commission Securities Division), CA (DFPI — 16 of 12,159 DFPI respondent pages read so far; sponsor-name matches are read first), DE (DOJ Investor Protection Unit), TX (State Securities Board), WA (DFI) — last crawled Oct 23, 2026, 9:57 PM ET. Other states are not covered.

3. Bankruptcies

None found in sources searched — federal bankruptcy courts (CourtListener / RECAP), checked Oct 24, 2026

What was searched

Sources searched: Federal bankruptcy courts via CourtListener / RECAP archive (federal district courts, federal bankruptcy courts). State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched (RECAP only). · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:16 AM ET.

4. Differences between public sources

No comparisons published

What is compared

No public statement by this sponsor group has been collected yet, so there is nothing to compare. Sources compared: the sponsor's own website (known from the issuer's own filings — Form C issuer website, EDGAR company profile — an approved profile claim or Form ADV Item 1.I of its matched adviser) · SEC Form D · SEC Form ADV (IAPD) · Internet Archive · No website is on file for this sponsor group yet.

4 differences found between the filings for Pear — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 10, 2012 – Jul 1, 2014

Form D filed 751 days after the first sale — Innovate Partners Emerging Growth & Equity Fund I, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 10, 2012. The Form D was filed Jul 1, 2014 — 751 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 736 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Note · Mar 25, 2014 – Jun 19, 2014

Offering amount changed between filings — PEAR SPORTS LLC

The Mar 25, 2014 filing says $2,031,000 offered; the Jun 19, 2014 Form D/A says $3,177,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Note · May 18, 2015 – May 27, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — PEAR SPORTS LLC (latest filing May 27, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 27, 2015 (first sale May 18, 2015). It reports $821,095 sold of $3,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 3 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 2 report proceeds to related persons totalling $800,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

May 27, 2015 D PEAR SPORTS LLC File 021-240593	$0	$0	$400,000 (est.) This represents salaries and consulting payments to executive officers and directors throughout the Issuer's fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗

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).
