The short version

John Bryson is listed as a director on 13 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Mar 2009 and Aug 2011: BrightSource Energy Inc (Oakland, CA — other energy — 2011; $201.7M reported sold to 46 investors), Coda Holdings, Inc. (Los Angeles, CA — manufacturing — 2010–2011; $116.8M reported sold to 25 investors) and MILES ELECTRIC VEHICLES INC (Santa Monica, CA — manufacturing — 2009–2010; $58M reported sold to 19 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 2 years. Across those companies the filings report $376.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Daniel Weiss (9 shared filings), Miles Rubin (9 shared filings), Steven M. Heller (9 shared filings), Alan Chesick (8 shared filings), Bruce Shibuya (7 shared filings) and 29 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 court cases matching the name, 28 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 30 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 13 public filings for John Bryson and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down 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

8 differences found between the filings for John Bryson — 2 worth asking about (compared 13 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 2, 2009 – Dec 23, 2009

Amount sold went down between filings — MILES ELECTRIC VEHICLES INC

The Jul 2, 2009 filing says $24,099,982 sold; the Dec 23, 2009 Form D says $1,000,000 sold — $23,099,982 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Worth asking · Jul 2, 2009 – Dec 23, 2009

Investor count went down between filings — MILES ELECTRIC VEHICLES INC

The Jul 2, 2009 filing reports 14 investors; the Dec 23, 2009 Form D reports 3 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Note · Dec 28, 2010 – Feb 14, 2011

Form D filed 48 days after the first sale — BrightSource Energy Inc

The filing says the first sale was Dec 28, 2010. The Form D was filed Feb 14, 2011 — 48 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 33 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.

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).

Deals 3

Every issuer that named John Bryson on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.
