The short version

Ed Johnson is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Feb 2018 and May 2018: Goally, Inc. (Denver, CO — other technology — 2018; $2.31M reported sold to 27 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed May 2018. 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 Daragh Brangan (3 shared filings) and Sasidhar Movva (3 shared filings).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Goally (3 issuers, $23.2M reported sold, 2018–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Goally has 3 companies on file and $23.2M 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) — 4 SEC releases, 16 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 20 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 3 public filings for Ed Johnson and found 4 differences: Form D filed 17 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

4 differences found between the filings for Ed Johnson (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 9, 2018 – Feb 26, 2018

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

The filing says the first sale was Feb 9, 2018. The Form D was filed Feb 26, 2018 — 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.

Note · May 3, 2018 – May 16, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Goally, Inc. (latest filing May 16, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 16, 2018 (first sale May 3, 2018). It reports $100,000 sold of $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.

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
