The short version

Benjamin Johnson is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Aug 2017 and Sep 2026: Rapta Inc. (Lake Oswego, OR — other technology — 2025–2026; $10.8M reported sold to 34 investors) and Senrio Inc. (Portland, OR — other technology — 2017; $1.7M reported sold to 21 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 9 years. Across those companies the filings report $12.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Aaron Brown (3 shared filings), Matthew Thornton (3 shared filings), Matthias Daue (2 shared filings), Diane Fraiman (1 shared filing), John Viega (1 shared filing) and 5 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Benjamin. 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) — 2 bankruptcy cases 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 Benjamin Johnson and found 10 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 667 days after the first sale; Form D filed 800 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

10 differences found between the filings for Benjamin Johnson — 2 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Sep 12, 2023 – Jul 10, 2025

Form D filed 667 days after the first sale — Rapta Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Sep 12, 2023. The Form D was filed Jul 10, 2025 — 667 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 652 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.

Worth asking · May 2, 2023 – Jul 10, 2025

Form D filed 800 days after the first sale — Rapta Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 2, 2023. The Form D was filed Jul 10, 2025 — 800 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 785 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.

Sources
Note · Sep 12, 2023 – Jul 10, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Rapta Inc. (latest filing Jul 10, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 10, 2025 (first sale Sep 12, 2023). It reports $2,155,623 sold of $4,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 3, 2016 – Aug 9, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Senrio Inc. (latest filing Aug 9, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 9, 2017 (first sale Jun 3, 2016). It reports $1,697,000 sold of $3,100,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 15, 2016 – Aug 9, 2017

Offering amount changed between filings — Senrio Inc.

The Jun 15, 2016 filing says $1,500,000 offered; the Aug 9, 2017 Form D/A says $3,100,000.

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.

Sources
Note · Aug 9, 2017 – Jul 10, 2025

Benjamin Johnson is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Benjamin Johnson" on 3 filings (from Aug 9, 2017), and "Benjamin Justin Johnson" on the Jul 10, 2025 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Oct 22, 2021 – Jun 28, 2024

Same name, different state: "Benjamin Johnson" (NE) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is OR. A separate record, "Benjamin Johnson" with address state NE, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Grain Weevil Corp (Jun 28, 2024). Both records have filings in the same period (Oct 22, 2021 to Jun 28, 2024).

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.

Sources
Note · Sep 14, 2018 – Sep 19, 2022

Same name, different state: "Benjamin Johnson" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is OR. A separate record, "Benjamin Johnson" with address state TX, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by Spruce Services, Inc. (Sep 19, 2022). Both records have filings in the same period (Sep 14, 2018 to Sep 19, 2022).

Same name, different state: "Benjamin Johnson" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is OR. A separate record, "Benjamin Johnson" with address state NY, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by Timber Technologies, Inc. (Sep 16, 2019). Both records have filings in the same period (Aug 9, 2017 to Sep 16, 2019).

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.

Note · Jul 10, 2025 – Sep 14, 2026

Address moved from Tigard, OR to Lake Oswego, OR — Rapta Inc.

The people listed on the Jul 10, 2025 filing give Tigard, OR; on the Sep 14, 2026 filing they give Lake Oswego, OR.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
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).
