The short version

Elliott Smith is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 10 SEC Form D filings by 7 issuers between Jul 2019 and Oct 2025. Largest by amount reported sold: TFC IDFC LLC (Midvale, UT — commercial — 2025; $485K reported sold to 2 investors), TFC Provo 2291, LLC (Midvale, UT — commercial — 2020; $410K reported sold to 5 investors), TFC 13400 Mister, LLC (Midvale, UT — commercial — 2021; $375K reported sold to 6 investors), BOGP, LLC (Midvale, UT — commercial — 2021; $370K reported sold to 3 investors), TFC Taylorsville 4015 LLC (Midvale, UT — commercial — 2020; $295K reported sold to 8 investors) and 2 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 7 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $2.15M sold in total.

Listed alongside Jason Smith (4 shared filings), Jonathan Taylor (4 shared filings), TeraForm Ventures IV (2 shared filings, management entity), TerraForm Ventures IV, B (2 shared filings, management entity), TerraForm Venture IV, (1 shared filing, management entity) and 3 others.

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Terraform (37 issuers, $21M reported sold, 2020–2026) and Teraform (2 issuers, $688K reported sold, 2019).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 12 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 12 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.

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).
