The short version

Joel Smith is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Oct 2024: Thames Valley Financial Inc. (London, Ontario, Canada (as filed: A6) — insurance — 2024; $55K reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2024. 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 Corey Yednoroz (1 shared filing), Gary Vander Laan (1 shared filing), Jacques Boudreau (1 shared filing), Kannoo Ravindran (1 shared filing) and Pat Johnston (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Joel. 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) — 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 1 public filing for Joel Smith and found 7 differences: 11% of the money raised went to insiders; Form D filed 31 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 Joel Smith (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 11, 2024

11% of the money raised went to insiders — Thames Valley Financial Inc.

The Oct 11, 2024 Form D reports $55,147 sold and $6,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate). Issuer's note: "We may use up to roughly USD$6,000 for officer compensation as needed.".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Sources
Note · Sep 10, 2024 – Oct 11, 2024

Form D filed 31 days after the first sale — Thames Valley Financial Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Sep 10, 2024. The Form D was filed Oct 11, 2024 — 31 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 16 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.

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

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).
