The short version

ERIC KAUFMAN is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jul 2024: Axonic Commercial Real Estate Fund III, LP (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2024; $131.2M reported sold to 24 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jul 2024. 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 AXONIC COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FUND GP III LLC (1 shared filing, management entity), Axonic Capital LLC (1 shared filing, management entity), Clayton DeGiacinto (1 shared filing), ERIK NYGAARD (1 shared filing) and Matthew Weinstein (1 shared filing).

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 Axonic (37 issuers, $6.5B reported sold, 2011–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Axonic has 37 companies on file and $6.5B 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 court case matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 KAUFMAN and found 3 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Eric R. Kaufman; Bankruptcy case: Eric M Kaufman and Ahbra A Kaufman; 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

3 differences found between the filings for ERIC KAUFMAN — 3 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 8, 2011 – Feb 29, 2012

Bankruptcy case: Eric R. Kaufman — filed Nov 8, 2011

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. New York docket "Eric R. Kaufman" filed Nov 8, 2011, closed Feb 29, 2012. ERIC KAUFMAN is listed as Debtor ("Eric R. Kaufman"). Our match estimate: 50%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Worth asking · Oct 16, 2009 – Feb 4, 2010

Bankruptcy case: Eric M Kaufman and Ahbra A Kaufman — filed Oct 16, 2009

Sources
Worth asking · Jul 15, 2024 – Mar 10, 2026

ERIC KAUFMAN is no longer listed on the Mar 10, 2026 amendment — Axonic Commercial Real Estate Fund III, LP

ERIC KAUFMAN appears on the Jul 15, 2024 Form D (director) but not on the Mar 10, 2026 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Sources
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

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"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).

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name ERIC KAUFMAN.

Same business address

10 other issuers file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

A person is never an adviser firm. 1 of the 1 issuer this person is listed on matches a Form ADV adviser (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026): Axonic Commercial Real Estate Fund III, LP.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to ERIC KAUFMAN by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 1 issuer this person is listed on — nothing matched.
