The short version

James Cavanaugh is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Nov 2017 and Mar 2023: LEAP THERAPEUTICS, INC. (Cambridge, MA — pharmaceuticals — 2017–2023; $77.2M reported sold to 121 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 Augustine Lawlor (2 shared filings), Christopher Mirabelli (2 shared filings), Douglas E. Onsi (2 shared filings), Joseph Loscalzo (2 shared filings), Nissim Mashiach (2 shared filings) and 9 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Healthcare (6 issuers, $81.2M reported sold, 2010–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Healthcare has 6 companies on file and $81.2M 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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 2 public filings for James Cavanaugh and found 5 differences: Form D filed 55 days after the first sale; Industry group 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

5 differences found between the filings for James Cavanaugh (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 17, 2023 – Mar 13, 2023

Form D filed 55 days after the first sale — LEAP THERAPEUTICS, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 17, 2023. The Form D was filed Mar 13, 2023 — 55 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 40 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 29, 2017 – Mar 13, 2023

Industry group changed between filings — LEAP THERAPEUTICS, INC.

"Biotechnology" (Nov 29, 2017); then "Pharmaceuticals" (Mar 13, 2023).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

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 2 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $400,000; 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).
