The short version

Bruce Friedman is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Apr 2017 and Jul 2024: BEANFIELDS, PBC (Los Angeles, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2017–2018; $2.5M reported sold to 1 investors), Sante - Beanfields LLC (Manhattan Beach, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2017; $1.75M reported sold to 2 investors) and Series One, A Series of Performance Marketing Investors LLC (Santa Barbara, CA — pooled investment fund — 2024).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 7 years. Across those companies the filings report $4.25M sold in total.

Listed alongside Mark Rampolla (2 shared filings), Amrit Khalsa (1 shared filing), James Mancuso (1 shared filing), John Honeck (1 shared filing), Patrick Turnpin (1 shared filing) and 3 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Powerplant (11 issuers, $443.3M reported sold, 2009–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Powerplant has 11 companies on file and $443.3M 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 court cases matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 Bruce Friedman and found 5 differences: Form D filed 24 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Bruce Friedman (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 7, 2017 – May 1, 2017

Form D filed 24 days after the first sale — BEANFIELDS, PBC

The filing says the first sale was Apr 7, 2017. The Form D was filed May 1, 2017 — 24 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 9 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 · Jun 27, 2018 – Jul 3, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BEANFIELDS, PBC (latest filing Jul 3, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 3, 2018 (first sale Jun 27, 2018). It reports $2,500,000 sold of $7,000,000 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 7, 2017 – May 1, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BEANFIELDS, PBC (latest filing May 1, 2017)

Note · Jul 29, 2009

Same name, different state: "Bruce C. Friedman" (GA or TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Bruce C. Friedman" with address state GA or TX, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by Geos Communications, Inc. (Mar 5, 2010). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Apr 18, 2017 to Jul 30, 2024; the other has one filing dated Jul 29, 2009.

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
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.
