The short version

Dave Mayer is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Oct 2023: Elida 96, LLC (Lebanon, OH — commercial — 2023; 4 investors reported).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2023. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Garrett Gatton (1 shared filing), Jeff A. Dulmage (1 shared filing), Lee Yoder (1 shared filing) and Seth Ciminillo (1 shared filing).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Group linked by Lee Yoder (11 issuers, $1.15M reported sold, 2021–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Lee Yoder has 11 companies on file and $1.15M 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) — 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 1 public filing for Dave Mayer and found 2 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "Dave Mayer" (CO) is a separate record.

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 Dave Mayer (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 12, 2023 – Oct 17, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Elida 96, LLC (latest filing Oct 17, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 17, 2023 (first sale Oct 12, 2023). It reports $0 sold of $3,000,000 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 · Nov 27, 2013

Same name, different state: "Dave Mayer" (CO) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is OH. A separate record, "Dave Mayer" with address state CO, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by KULA Causes, Inc. (Nov 27, 2013). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Oct 17, 2023; the other has one filing dated Nov 27, 2013.

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.

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 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $140,000.

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).
