The short version

Chad Hooker is listed as an executive officer and director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 5 issuers between Aug 2023 and Oct 2026: DriverReach Inc. (Carmel, IN — industry reported as "Other" — 2023–2024; $7M reported sold to 7 investors), Fulcrum Growth Fund VI-A, L.P. (Atlanta, GA — pooled investment fund — 2026), Fulcrum Growth Fund VI QP, L.P. (Atlanta, GA — pooled investment fund — 2026), Fulcrum Growth Fund VI, L.P. (Atlanta, GA — pooled investment fund — 2026) and Firethorn SPV I, LLC (Roswell, GA — pooled investment fund — 2025).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 5 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $7M sold in total.

Listed alongside James S Douglass (6 shared filings), Brent Dorfman (3 shared filings), Jeremy Reymer (3 shared filings), Philip A. Lewis (3 shared filings), Sam Bloomquist (3 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 Chad. Each name links to their own page.

3 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Fulcrum (12 issuers, $938.1M reported sold, 2011–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Fulcrum has 12 companies on file and $938.1M 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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 7 public filings for Chad Hooker and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Chad E. Hooker; 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 Chad Hooker — 1 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 28, 2001 – Apr 9, 2002

Bankruptcy case: Chad E. Hooker — filed Dec 28, 2001

United States Bankruptcy Court, D. New Mexico docket "Chad E. Hooker" filed Dec 28, 2001, closed Apr 9, 2002. Chad Hooker is listed as Debtor ("Chad E. Hooker"). Our match estimate: 40%.

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.

Sources
Note · Dec 16, 2024 – Dec 27, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — DriverReach Inc. (latest filing Dec 27, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 27, 2024 (first sale Dec 16, 2024). It reports $750,000 sold of $1,500,000 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 · Dec 16, 2022 – Dec 17, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — DriverReach Inc. (latest filing Dec 17, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 17, 2024 (first sale Dec 16, 2022). It reports $0 sold of $164,793 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 · Dec 22, 2022 – Dec 18, 2023

Industry group changed between filings — DriverReach Inc.

"Other Technology" (Dec 22, 2022 to Aug 28, 2023); then "Other" (Dec 18, 2023 to Dec 27, 2024).

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 · Aug 28, 2023 – Oct 15, 2026

Chad Hooker is listed with 2 different address states: IN, GA

IN on 3 filings (Aug 28, 2023 to Dec 27, 2024); GA on 4 filings (Jun 18, 2025 to Oct 15, 2026).

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.

5. Money to insiders

3 of 7 offerings report sales commissions totalling $15,000,000; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
