The short version

Gregory Kaiser is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2011 and Jun 2012: LIGHTING SCIENCE GROUP CORP (West Warwick, RI — other technology — 2011–2012; $67.1M reported sold to 34 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Donald Harkleroad (3 shared filings), Frederic Maxik (3 shared filings), Leon Wagner (3 shared filings), Charles Darnell (2 shared filings), David Bell (2 shared filings) and 13 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 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 3 public filings for Gregory Kaiser and found 4 differences: Gregory Kaiser appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; Form D filed 17 days after the first sale; 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

4 differences found between the filings for Gregory Kaiser (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 2, 2016

Gregory Kaiser appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

LIGHTING SCIENCE GROUP CORP (last filing Aug 2, 2016; $67,069,000 sold of $174,918,270). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Note · May 25, 2012 – Jun 11, 2012

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — LIGHTING SCIENCE GROUP CORP

The filing says the first sale was May 25, 2012. The Form D was filed Jun 11, 2012 — 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 · Jan 26, 2011 – Jun 11, 2012

Gregory Kaiser is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Gregory Kaiser" on 2 filings (from Jan 26, 2011), and "Gregory T. Kaiser" on the Jun 11, 2012 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Jan 26, 2011 – Jun 11, 2012

Reported revenue range changed between filings — LIGHTING SCIENCE GROUP CORP

"$25,000,001 - $100,000,000" (Jan 26, 2011); then "Decline to Disclose" (Jun 11, 2012).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

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

1 of 3 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $2,971,600; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons.

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).
