The short version

Andy Wheeler is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Nov 2018 and Dec 2020: Benson Hill, Inc. (St. Louis, MO — other technology — 2018–2020; $159.1M reported sold to 23 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Mark G Cupta (4 shared filings), Matthew B Crisp (4 shared filings), Michael B Wainscott (4 shared filings), Adrienne D Elsner (3 shared filings), Daniel Jacobi (3 shared filings) and 11 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Andy. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 court case matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 Andy Wheeler and found 7 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 101 days after the first sale; Form D filed 81 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

7 differences found between the filings for Andy Wheeler — 3 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 31, 2020 – Nov 9, 2020

Form D filed 101 days after the first sale — Benson Hill, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 31, 2020. The Form D was filed Nov 9, 2020 — 101 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 86 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Worth asking · May 13, 2019 – Aug 2, 2019

Form D filed 81 days after the first sale — Benson Hill, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 13, 2019. The Form D was filed Aug 2, 2019 — 81 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 66 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Worth asking · Aug 13, 2018 – Nov 16, 2018

Form D filed 95 days after the first sale — Benson Hill, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Aug 13, 2018. The Form D was filed Nov 16, 2018 — 95 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 80 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Jul 31, 2020 – Dec 18, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Benson Hill, Inc. (latest filing Dec 18, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 18, 2020 (first sale Jul 31, 2020). It reports $159,088,249 sold of $159,088,252 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.

Sources
Note · Nov 9, 2020 – Dec 18, 2020

Offering amount changed between filings — Benson Hill, Inc.

The Nov 9, 2020 filing says $150,000,000 offered; the Dec 18, 2020 Form D/A says $159,088,252.

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.

Sources
Note · Aug 20, 2015 – May 29, 2024

Same name, different state: "Andy Wheeler" (CA or MA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MO. A separate record, "Andy Wheeler" with address state CA or MA, is listed on 17 filings — most recently by Verse Enterprises, Inc. (May 29, 2024). Both records have filings in the same period (Nov 16, 2018 to Dec 18, 2020).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Same name, different state: "Andy Wheeler" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MO. A separate record, "Andy Wheeler" with address state NY, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by Bowery Farming Inc. (Nov 9, 2023). Both records have filings in the same period (Dec 13, 2018 to Dec 18, 2020).

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.

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 every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
