The short version

Gregory Barnes is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2026 and Mar 2026: Legence Corp. (San Jose, CA — other energy — 2026; $100M reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 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 Bilal Khan (2 shared filings), Bryce Seki (2 shared filings), Christie Kelly (2 shared filings), David Coghlan (2 shared filings), Jeffrey Sprau (2 shared filings) and 5 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Legence (2 issuers, $7.25M reported sold, 2022–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Legence has 2 companies on file and $7.25M 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) — 1 court case matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 2 public filings for Gregory Barnes and found 1 difference: Same name, different state: "Gregory Barnes" (IL) 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

1 difference found between the filings for Gregory Barnes (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 18, 2023 – Jul 5, 2024

Same name, different state: "Gregory Barnes" (IL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Gregory Barnes" with address state IL, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by Moonlite AI Inc. (Jul 5, 2024). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jan 2, 2026 to Mar 2, 2026; the other runs Jan 18, 2023 to Jul 5, 2024.

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.

5. Money to insiders
