The short version

Geraldine Laybourne is listed as a director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Nov 2010 and Jul 2017: Alloy Media Investments, L.L.C. (New York, NY — industry reported as "Other" — 2010–2012; $53.4M reported sold to 6 investors), Alloy Media Co-Investors, L.L.C. (New York, NY — industry reported as "Other" — 2010–2012; $33.4M reported sold to 8 investors), BETAWORKS STUDIO, LLC (New York, NY — other technology — 2014; $19.5M reported sold to 24 investors) and DGSJ Network Inc. (New York, NY — other technology — 2014–2017; $7.73M reported sold to 25 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 7 years. Across those companies the filings report $114M sold in total.

Listed alongside Andrew Vogel (4 shared filings), Brian Gildea (4 shared filings), James K. Johnson, Jr. (4 shared filings), Jordan Turkewitz (4 shared filings), Matthew C. Diamond (4 shared filings) and 17 others.

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Bbg (15 issuers, $338.5M reported sold, 2009–2024) and Zmc (9 issuers, $1.89B reported sold, 2010–2024).

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), 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 7 public filings for Geraldine Laybourne and found 6 differences: Form D filed 17 days after the first sale; Offering amount changed between filings; 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

6 differences found between the filings for Geraldine Laybourne (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 14, 2017 – Jul 31, 2017

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — DGSJ Network Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 14, 2017. The Form D was filed Jul 31, 2017 — 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.

Sources
Note · Nov 22, 2013 – Apr 7, 2014

Offering amount changed between filings — BETAWORKS STUDIO, LLC

The Nov 22, 2013 filing says $10,000,000 offered; the Apr 7, 2014 Form D/A says $22,000,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Jul 14, 2017 – Jul 31, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — DGSJ Network Inc. (latest filing Jul 31, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 31, 2017 (first sale Jul 14, 2017). It reports $2,035,778 sold of $2,500,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 24, 2014 – Jul 9, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — DGSJ Network Inc. (latest filing Jul 9, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 9, 2014 (first sale Jun 24, 2014). It reports $7,734,982 sold of $7,924,982 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 14, 2013 – Apr 7, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BETAWORKS STUDIO, LLC (latest filing Apr 7, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 7, 2014 (first sale Nov 14, 2013). It reports $19,481,984 sold of $22,000,000 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 · Aug 15, 2011 – Jul 19, 2021

Same name, different state: "GERALDINE LAYBOURNE" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "GERALDINE LAYBOURNE" with address state CA, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Common Sense Growth, LLC (Jul 19, 2021). Both records have filings in the same period (Aug 15, 2011 to Jul 31, 2017).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.

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).
