The short version

John Hartmann is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2024: Freedom VCM Holdings, LLC (Delaware, OH — retailing — 2024; $85.9M reported sold to 10 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 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 Andrew Kaminsky (1 shared filing), Andrew Laurence (1 shared filing), Bryant Riley (1 shared filing) and Tiffany McMillan-McWaters (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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 16 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 16 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 1 public filing for John Hartmann and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 66 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

4 differences found between the filings for John Hartmann — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 19, 2024 – Mar 25, 2024

Form D filed 66 days after the first sale — Freedom VCM Holdings, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jan 19, 2024. The Form D was filed Mar 25, 2024 — 66 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 51 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.

Sources
Note · Jan 19, 2024 – Mar 25, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Freedom VCM Holdings, LLC (latest filing Mar 25, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 25, 2024 (first sale Jan 19, 2024). It reports $85,924,747 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

Same name, different state: "John Hartmann" (NY or NJ) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is OH. A separate record, "John Hartmann" with address state NY or NJ, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Ascend Wellness Holdings, Inc. (Jan 23, 2025). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Mar 25, 2024; the other has one filing dated Jan 23, 2025.

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.
