The short version

James Paris is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Nov 2015 and Apr 2021: Avant Holding Company, Inc. (Chicago, IL — other technology — 2021; $72.8M reported sold to 17 investors) and Avant Capital Partnership I, L.P. (Chicago, IL — pooled investment fund — 2015; $42.3M reported sold to 47 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $115M sold in total.

Listed alongside Albert Goldstein (2 shared filings), Adam Hughes (1 shared filing), Avant Capital Advisors I, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity), Avant, Inc. (1 shared filing, management entity), Bhanu Arora (1 shared filing) and 15 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.

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Avant (6 issuers, $589.4M reported sold, 2009–2022).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Avant has 6 companies on file and $589.4M 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) — 6 state regulator orders, 28 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 34 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 James Paris and found 8 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: IL securities regulator consent order of dismissal naming James Paris (Jun 4, 2010); IL securities regulator notice of hearing naming James Paris (Apr 20, 2010); 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.

James Paris appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Avant Holding Company, Inc. (last filing Dec 7, 2022; $72,750,000 sold of $146,631,659). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

Note · Apr 6, 2021 – Apr 22, 2021

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — Avant Holding Company, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Apr 6, 2021. The Form D was filed Apr 22, 2021 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

Form D · Apr 22, 2021 ↗Avant Holding Company, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Oct 20, 2015 – Nov 3, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Avant Capital Partnership I, L.P. (latest filing Nov 3, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 3, 2015 (first sale Oct 20, 2015). It reports $42,260,000 sold of $75,000,000 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.

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.

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).

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)

None of the 2 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

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 James Paris 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 2 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
