The short version

Jay Braden is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 4 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Oct 2020 and Jul 2023: BASTION FUNDING V LP (Stamford, CT — pooled investment fund — 2021–2023; $66M reported sold to 6 investors), Bastion Funding IV LLC (Stamford, CT — pooled investment fund — 2020; $24.3M reported sold to 27 investors) and Bastion Funding VI LP (Stamford, CT — pooled investment fund — 2022).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and promoter, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $90.3M sold in total.

Listed alongside Tim Reimink (4 shared filings) and Tim Joyce (1 shared filing).

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

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Bastion Funding (3 issuers, $90.3M reported sold, 2020–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Bastion Funding has 3 companies on file and $90.3M 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) — 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 4 public filings for Jay Braden and found 7 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Raleigh Green; Form D filed 639 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

7 differences found between the filings for Jay Braden — 3 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 12, 2022

Jay Braden appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Bastion Funding VI LP (last filing Dec 12, 2022; $0 sold of $250,000,000). 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.

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Raleigh Green — Bastion Funding IV LLC

Raleigh Green is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Oct 13, 2020) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Worth asking · Oct 11, 2021 – Jul 12, 2023

Form D filed 639 days after the first sale — BASTION FUNDING V LP

The filing says the first sale was Oct 11, 2021. The Form D was filed Jul 12, 2023 — 639 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 624 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Sep 24, 2020 – Oct 13, 2020

Form D filed 19 days after the first sale — Bastion Funding IV LLC

The filing says the first sale was Sep 24, 2020. The Form D was filed Oct 13, 2020 — 19 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 4 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 · Oct 11, 2021 – Oct 15, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BASTION FUNDING V LP (latest filing Oct 15, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 15, 2021 (first sale Oct 11, 2021). It reports $46,000,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Bastion Funding IV LLC (latest filing Oct 13, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 13, 2020 (first sale Sep 24, 2020). It reports $24,298,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

Worth asking · Jul 12, 2023 – Aug 2, 2023

Jay Braden is no longer listed on the Aug 2, 2023 amendment — BASTION FUNDING V LP

Jay Braden appears on the Jul 12, 2023 Form D (executive officer) but not on the Aug 2, 2023 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

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.

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).

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name Jay Braden.

Same business address

20 other issuers file from the same address

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); KY (Kentucky Secretary of State — Business Entity Search (sosbes.sos.ky.gov), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 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 3 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 Jay Braden 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 3 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
