The short version

Brian Spaly is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jun 2009 and Oct 2023: BONOBOS INC (New York, NY — retailing — 2009; $55M reported sold to 42 investors), Happy Returns, Inc. (Venice, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2018; $8M reported sold to 3 investors) and ChannelApe, Inc. (New York, NY — other technology — 2023; $2.9M reported sold to 15 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 14 years. Across those companies the filings report $65.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside David Sobie (2 shared filings), Andrew Dunn (1 shared filing), COLIN EVANS (1 shared filing), Greg Bettinelli (1 shared filing), Mark Geller (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 Brian. Each name links to their own page.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Red Swan (22 issuers, $90.2M reported sold, 2009–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Red Swan has 22 companies on file and $90.2M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 3 public filings for Brian Spaly and found 11 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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

11 differences found between the filings for Brian Spaly — 4 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 19, 2009 – Jan 21, 2010

Amount sold went down between filings — BONOBOS INC

The Jun 19, 2009 filing says $3,000,000 sold; the Jan 21, 2010 Form D says $1,999,946 sold — $1,000,054 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Worth asking · Jun 19, 2009 – Jan 21, 2010

Investor count went down between filings — BONOBOS INC

The Jun 19, 2009 filing reports 42 investors; the Jan 21, 2010 Form D reports 22 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Worth asking · Sep 26, 2008 – Jun 19, 2009

Form D filed 266 days after the first sale — BONOBOS INC

The filing says the first sale was Sep 26, 2008. The Form D was filed Jun 19, 2009 — 266 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 251 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.

Form D · Jun 19, 2009 ↗BONOBOS INC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Oct 5, 2023 – Oct 18, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ChannelApe, Inc. (latest filing Oct 18, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 18, 2023 (first sale Oct 5, 2023). It reports $726,633 sold of $1,499,993 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.

Brian Spaly is no longer listed on the Dec 23, 2010 amendment — BONOBOS INC

Brian Spaly appears on the Jun 19, 2009 Form D (executive officer, director) but not on the Dec 23, 2010 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Offering amount lowered between filings — BONOBOS INC

The Jun 19, 2009 filing says $3,000,000 offered; the Jan 21, 2010 Form D says $2,000,016.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

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.
