The short version

John Fortes is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jan 2021 and May 2021: 2133 VANDIVERE LLC (Myrtle Beach, SC — commercial — 2021; $3.88M reported sold to 63 investors) and Avant Investment Fund, LLC (San Francisco, CA — commercial — 2021).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer. Across those companies the filings report $3.88M sold in total.

Listed alongside Arn Cenedella (1 shared filing), Brian Briscoe (1 shared filing), Brian Mallin (1 shared filing), Eric Shirley (1 shared filing), Heath Jones (1 shared filing) and 9 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.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Greenlight Ohio (29 issuers, $45.4M reported sold, 2018–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Greenlight Ohio has 29 companies on file and $45.4M 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) — 7 court cases matching the name, 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 15 records came back, including 3 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 John Fortes and found 3 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Address moved from Burlingame, CA to San Francisco, CA; 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

3 differences found between the filings for John Fortes (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 22, 2020 – Jan 5, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — 2133 VANDIVERE LLC (latest filing Jan 5, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 5, 2021 (first sale Dec 22, 2020). It reports $3,884,000 sold of $3,975,000 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.

Form D · Jan 5, 2021 ↗2133 VANDIVERE LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Sep 11, 2019 – Jun 5, 2020

Address moved from Burlingame, CA to San Francisco, CA — Avant Investment Fund, LLC

The people listed on the Sep 11, 2019 filing give Burlingame, CA; on the Jun 5, 2020 filing they give San Francisco, CA.

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.

Note · Sep 11, 2019 – May 18, 2021

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Avant Investment Fund, LLC

"No Revenues" (Sep 11, 2019); then "Decline to Disclose" (May 18, 2021).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

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 2 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $119,250. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).

Registrations and other filings

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 2 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.
