The short version

Jeff Sutphen is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2023 and Apr 2024: Weatherfoot LLC (Mount Pleasant, SC — industry reported as "Other" — 2023–2024; $3.44M reported sold to 26 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 Hickson Chen (2 shared filings), Lunchbox Labs, LLC (2 shared filings, management entity) and Tim Beggy (2 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Jeff. 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) — 12 court cases matching the name, 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 20 records came back, including 2 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 Jeff Sutphen and found 2 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Offering amount changed between filings.

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

2 differences found between the filings for Jeff Sutphen (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 31, 2023 – Apr 1, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Weatherfoot LLC (latest filing Apr 1, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 1, 2024 (first sale Mar 31, 2023). It reports $3,441,000 sold of $5,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Mar 30, 2023 – Apr 1, 2024

Offering amount changed between filings — Weatherfoot LLC

The Mar 30, 2023 filing says $500,000 offered; the Apr 1, 2024 Form D/A says $5,000,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

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.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $61,000.

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).
