The short version

Jim Levites is listed as an executive officer on 11 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Dec 2017 and Jan 2023: Cognovi Labs, Inc. (Dayton, OH — other technology — 2017–2023; $6.72M reported sold to 35 investors), Pelios Opportunity Fund, LP (New York, NY — investing — 2020; $90K reported sold to 6 investors) and Pelios Core Fund, LP (New York, NY — investing — 2020; $55K reported sold to 5 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $6.86M sold in total.

Listed alongside Ben-Ami Gradwohl (11 shared filings), Amit Sheth (8 shared filings), John D'Orazio (8 shared filings), Flavio Lobato (6 shared filings), Rodolfo Bellesi (6 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 Jim. Each name links to their own page.

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Pelios (2 issuers, $145K reported sold, 2020).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Pelios has 2 companies on file and $145K 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 2 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 11 public filings for Jim Levites and found 5 differences: Offering amount changed between filings; Offering amount lowered between filings; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Jim Levites (compared 11 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 6, 2019 – Aug 28, 2020

Offering amount changed between filings — Cognovi Labs, Inc.

The Jun 6, 2019 filing says $2,000,000 offered; the Aug 28, 2020 Form D/A says $5,500,000.

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
Note · Dec 11, 2017 – Dec 19, 2017

Offering amount lowered between filings — Cognovi Labs, Inc.

The Dec 11, 2017 filing says $2,232,000 offered; the Dec 19, 2017 Form D/A says $1,400,000.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Sources
Note · Nov 27, 2017 – Jan 19, 2023

7 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 — Cognovi Labs, Inc. (latest filing Jan 19, 2023) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Cognovi Labs, Inc. (latest filing Aug 28, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Pelios Opportunity Fund, LP (latest filing Jul 23, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Pelios Core Fund, LP (latest filing Jul 23, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Pelios Core Fund, LP (latest filing Jul 23, 2020) · and 2 more

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 28, 2020 – Dec 3, 2021

Address moved from Columbus, OH to Dayton, OH — Cognovi Labs, Inc.

The people listed on the Aug 28, 2020 filing give Columbus, OH; on the Dec 3, 2021 filing they give Dayton, OH.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
Note · Dec 11, 2017 – Jan 19, 2023

Jim Levites is listed with 2 different address states: OH, NY

OH on 8 filings (Dec 11, 2017 to Jan 19, 2023); NY on 3 filings (Jul 23, 2020 to Jul 23, 2020).

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.

5. Money to insiders

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).

Registrations and other filings

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.
