The short version

Dan Simons is listed as an executive officer on 5 SEC Form D filings by 5 issuers between Sep 2010 and Jun 2024: FOUNDING FARMERS ALX, LLC (Potomac, MD — restaurants — 2024; $4.45M reported sold to 23 investors), Founding Farmers Reston, LLC (Kensington, MD — restaurants — 2016; $2.17M reported sold to 15 investors), Founding Farmers KOP, LLC (Kensington, MD — restaurants — 2016; $2.13M reported sold to 13 investors), Founding Farmers Potomac, LLC (Kensington, MD — restaurants — 2010; $1.72M reported sold to 10 investors) and Founding Farmers NOVA, LLC (Kensington, MD — restaurants — 2013; $50K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 5 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 14 years. Across those companies the filings report $10.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Farmers Restaurant Group, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity), Michael Vucurevich (1 shared filing), Nate Fegely (1 shared filing) and VSAG Farm Management, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity).

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

All 5 issuers belong to the sponsor group Founding Farmers (5 issuers, $10.5M reported sold, 2010–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Founding Farmers has 5 companies on file and $10.5M 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 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 Dan Simons and found 2 differences: Form D filed 17 days after the first sale; 4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open.

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

2 differences found between the filings for Dan Simons (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 10, 2010 – Sep 27, 2010

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Founding Farmers Potomac, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Sep 10, 2010. The Form D was filed Sep 27, 2010 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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 · Sep 10, 2010 – May 11, 2016

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Founding Farmers KOP, LLC (latest filing May 11, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Founding Farmers Reston, LLC (latest filing May 11, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Founding Farmers NOVA, LLC (latest filing Feb 15, 2013) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Founding Farmers Potomac, LLC (latest filing Sep 27, 2010)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

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

0 of 5 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 3 report proceeds to related persons totalling $656,000. (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).
