The short version

James Reed is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Aug 2015 and Apr 2020: DEFINEDCROWD Corp (Seattle, WA — other technology — 2018–2020; $19.5M reported sold to 14 investors) and PB Inc. (Renton, WA — other technology — 2015; $5M reported sold to 10 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $24.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Daniela Filipa Macedo Braga Moreira (2 shared filings), Dennis Smith (2 shared filings), Daniel Daoura (1 shared filing), Gabriel Rowe (1 shared filing), Javier Torremocha (1 shared filing) and 3 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.

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) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 James Reed and found 9 differences: James Reed appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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.

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.
