What this means A repeat sponsor — 6 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 16 years. Across those companies the filings report $655.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Philip Ferneau (12 shared filings), DAVID SHAW (9 shared filings), EDWARD M MCNAMARA (6 shared filings), Kevin Bitterman (4 shared filings), YUMIN CHOI (4 shared filings) and 36 others.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Borealis (4 issuers, $150.7M reported sold, 2017–2023) and Blue (2 issuers, $31.4M reported sold, 2021–2026).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 14 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 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.

Bankruptcy case: Benjamin H. Shaw — filed Oct 2, 1997

United States Bankruptcy Court, D. Massachusetts docket "Benjamin H. Shaw" filed Oct 2, 1997, closed Feb 26, 1998. Benjamin Shaw is listed as Debtor ("Benjamin H. Shaw"). Our match estimate: 44%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Benjamin Shaw appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Borealis Fund VI, LP (last filing May 4, 2023; $5,290,000 sold of $100,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 16, 2021. The Form D was filed Jan 20, 2022 — 35 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 20 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.

(latest filing Jan 20, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Direct Vet Marketing, Inc. (latest filing May 20, 2011)

Note · Apr 8, 2021 – Jan 20, 2022

Benjamin Shaw's role changed at Blue Rabbit Ventures, Inc.: executive officer, director → executive officer, director, promoter

The Apr 8, 2021 filing lists Benjamin Shaw as executive officer, director; the Jan 20, 2022 Form D lists executive officer, director, promoter.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Jul 1, 2010 – May 20, 2011

Offering amount changed between filings — Direct Vet Marketing, Inc.

The Jul 1, 2010 filing says $2,006,034 offered; the May 20, 2011 Form D/A says $3,306,034.

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 · Jul 1, 2010 – Jul 24, 2017

Benjamin Shaw is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Benjamin Shaw" on 12 filings (from Jul 1, 2010), and "Benjamin J. Shaw" on 4 filings (from Jul 24, 2017).

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 · Jul 1, 2010 – Jul 24, 2017

Industry group changed between filings — Direct Vet Marketing, Inc.

"Retailing" (Jul 1, 2010 to Jun 12, 2012); then "Other Health Care" (Jun 12, 2013 to Jul 17, 2015); then "Other" (Jul 24, 2017).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Oct 30, 2023

Same name, different state: "Benjamin Shaw" (WI) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is ME or MA or NH. A separate record, "Benjamin Shaw" with address state WI, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Anada, Inc. (Oct 30, 2023). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jul 1, 2010 to Feb 20, 2019; the other has one filing dated Oct 30, 2023.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Jul 16, 2015 – Jul 17, 2015

Address moved from Portland, MA to Portland, ME — Direct Vet Marketing, Inc.

The people listed on the Jul 16, 2015 filing give Portland, MA; on the Jul 17, 2015 filing they give Portland, ME.

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
Note · Mar 20, 2015 – Jul 16, 2015

Address moved from Portland, ME to Portland, MA — Direct Vet Marketing, Inc.

The people listed on the Mar 20, 2015 filing give Portland, ME; on the Jul 16, 2015 filing they give Portland, MA.

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
Note · Jul 1, 2010 – Jul 10, 2026

Benjamin Shaw is listed with 3 different address states: ME, MA, NH

ME on 11 filings (Jul 1, 2010 to Jul 10, 2026); MA on 1 filing (Jul 16, 2015); NH on 4 filings (Sep 21, 2021 to May 4, 2023).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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.

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).

Deals 6

Every issuer that named Benjamin Shaw on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

Same business address

9 other issuers file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 6 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Benjamin Shaw by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 6 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
