Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:53 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

Jay Leek is listed as a director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Aug 2022 and Jul 2026: Cranium Al, Inc. (Short Hills, NJ — other technology — 2023–2026; $20M reported sold to 30 investors) and Crash Override, Inc. (New York, NY — other technology — 2022–2025; $13.2M reported sold to 7 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $33.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside Gerhard Eschelbeck (5 shared filings), Felix Knoll (4 shared filings), Jonathan Dambrot (4 shared filings), John Viega (3 shared filings), Mark Curphey (3 shared filings) and 4 others.

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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 7 public filings for Jay Leek and found 8 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 71 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

8 differences found between the filings for Jay Leek — 1 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 10, 2023 – Jul 20, 2023

Form D filed 71 days after the first sale — Cranium Al, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 10, 2023. The Form D was filed Jul 20, 2023 — 71 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 56 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 · Jul 29, 2022 – Feb 28, 2025

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Crash Override, Inc. (latest filing Feb 28, 2025) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Crash Override, Inc. (latest filing Feb 21, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Cranium Al, Inc. (latest filing Jul 20, 2023) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Crash Override, Inc. (latest filing Aug 11, 2022)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Aug 11, 2022 – Feb 21, 2024

Jay Leek is written 3 different ways on the filings

listed as "Jay Allan Leek II" on 2 filings (from Aug 11, 2022), and "Jay Leek" on 4 filings (from Mar 15, 2023), and "Jay Alan Leek" on the Feb 21, 2024 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.

Same name, different state: "Jay Leek" (FL or NY or CO or VA or CA or SD or DC) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY or NJ. A separate record, "Jay Leek" with address state FL or NY or CO or VA or CA or SD or DC, is listed on 44 filings — most recently by SYN Ventures Seed Fund II LP (Oct 14, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 15, 2023 to Jul 16, 2026).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Mar 15, 2023 to Jul 16, 2026; the other has one filing dated Sep 2, 2021.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Note · Aug 11, 2022 – Jul 16, 2026

Jay Leek is listed with 2 different address states: NY, NJ

NY on 3 filings (Aug 11, 2022 to Feb 28, 2025); NJ on 4 filings (Mar 15, 2023 to Jul 16, 2026).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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.

"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.
