The short version

John Hamilton is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Nov 2024: Wheels Holdco, LLC (Washington, DC — industry reported as "Other" — 2024; $935.3M reported sold to 6 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Nov 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 Katherine Barasch (1 shared filing), Mark Blaufuss (1 shared filing), Martin Sumner (1 shared filing), Warren Jay Potter (1 shared filing) and Wesley Bieligk (1 shared filing).

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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Flex (2 issuers, $942.9M reported sold, 2016–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Flex has 2 companies on file and $942.9M 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) — 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 John Hamilton and found 5 differences: Same name, different state: "John Hamilton" (CA) is a separate record; Same name, different state: "John Hamilton" (KY) is a separate record; 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.

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.
