Proof 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 Dec 2014 and Nov 2021.
What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 7 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: $91K to 31 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: "Other" (1), Investing (1). Issuers are based in ND (2).
What this means $91K raised across the group, about $2,934 per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.
Principal people: Joel Kath (2 issuers, executive officer, director, and promoter), John Cook (2 issuers, executive officer, director, and promoter) and Francis Leier (1 issuer, executive officer, director, and promoter).
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 Nov 15, 2021.
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) — none found.
What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (4 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.
We compared 4 public filings for Proof and found 6 differences: Form D filed 16 days after the first sale; John Cook's role changed at Proof Artisan Distillers, LLC: executive officer, director → executive officer; 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.
