The short version

Blake Lawrence is listed as an executive officer on 5 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Feb 2014 and Sep 2021: VIKASA Global Equities LP (Nichols Hills, OK — pooled investment fund — 2014–2015; $837K reported sold to 13 investors), Pine Ridge Ventures Fund II, LLC (Oklahoma City, OK — investing — 2021; $250K reported sold to 1 investors) and Pine Ridge Ventures Fund I, LLC (Oklahoma City, OK — investing — 2021; $250K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 7 years. Across those companies the filings report $1.34M sold in total.

Listed alongside Dheepak Kumar Jayakrishnan (3 shared filings), Mark Pahl (3 shared filings), Roshan Pujari (3 shared filings), Bruce Lawrence (2 shared filings), Daniel E. Powers (2 shared filings) and 3 others.

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Pine Ridge (2 issuers, $500K reported sold, 2021) and Vikasa (4 issuers, $298.3M reported sold, 2014–2026).

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, 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 5 public filings for Blake Lawrence and found 11 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: 40% of the money raised went to insiders; Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Pine Ridge Ventures Fund II, LLC; 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.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Pine Ridge Ventures Fund II, LLC (latest filing Sep 16, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 16, 2021 (first sale Sep 3, 2021). It reports $250,000 sold of $5,000,000 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 · Apr 24, 2014 – Sep 3, 2015

The Apr 24, 2014 filing lists a minimum of $250,000; the Sep 3, 2015 Form D/A lists $100,000.

Note · May 22, 2013 – Feb 6, 2026

Same name, different state: "Blake Lawrence" (NE) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is OK. A separate record, "Blake Lawrence" with address state NE, is listed on 10 filings — most recently by Opendorse, Inc. (Feb 6, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Feb 13, 2014 to Sep 16, 2021).

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.

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).
