The short version

Daniel Shapiro is listed as an executive officer and director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jul 2014 and Apr 2024: Oz Distribution, Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2019; $6.76M reported sold to 17 investors), L9 Labs Inc. (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2024; $4.88M reported sold to 13 investors) and Designlab Learning, Inc. (Dublin, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2014–2017; $285K reported sold to 3 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 10 years. Across those companies the filings report $11.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Ezra Goldman (2 shared filings), Harish Venkatesan (2 shared filings), Jakob Laggner (2 shared filings), John Bryce (2 shared filings), Mansoor Zakaria (2 shared filings) and 4 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 Daniel Shapiro and found 7 differences: Form D filed 17 days after the first sale; 5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and 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

7 differences found between the filings for Daniel Shapiro (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 30, 2019 – Sep 16, 2019

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Oz Distribution, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Aug 30, 2019. The Form D was filed Sep 16, 2019 — 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.

Same name, different state: "Daniel Joseph Shapiro" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA or NY. A separate record, "Daniel Joseph Shapiro" with address state TX, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by American Intelligence & Power Corp (Jan 21, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Jan 30, 2019 to Apr 3, 2024).

Daniel Shapiro is listed with 2 different address states: CA, NY

CA on 4 filings (Jul 29, 2014 to Apr 3, 2024); NY on 1 filing (Aug 4, 2017).

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.

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.
