The short version

Eric Hess is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Feb 2026: OSP Gannett Holdings, LLC (New York, NY — industry reported as "Other" — 2026; $316.1M reported sold to 296 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Feb 2026. 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 Addison Nordin (1 shared filing), Ariel Garcia (1 shared filing), Joe Benavides (1 shared filing), Michael Della Rocca (1 shared filing), Michael Orth (1 shared filing) and 2 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Oceansound (43 issuers, $2.49B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Oceansound has 43 companies on file and $2.49B 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) — 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 9 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 1 public filing for Eric Hess and found 2 differences: Same name, different state: "Eric Hess" (NY) is a separate record; Same name, different state: "Eric Hess" (NJ) 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.

2 differences found between the filings for Eric Hess (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 25, 2018

Same name, different state: "Eric Hess" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is SC. A separate record, "Eric Hess" with address state NY, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Global Digital Mercantile Holdings Ltd (Oct 25, 2018). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Feb 18, 2026; the other has one filing dated Oct 25, 2018.

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.
