The short version

John Hockin is listed as an executive officer and director on 12 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jul 2009 and Sep 2026: Sea Cliff Partners, LP (San Francisco, CA — pooled investment fund — 2021–2026; $267.6M reported sold to 57 investors), Sea Cliff Offshore Fund, LP (George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2021–2025; $51.9M reported sold to 35 investors) and Human Touch, LLC (Long Beach, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2009; $18.9M reported sold to 17 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 17 years. Across those companies the filings report $338.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside SC GP, LLC (11 shared filings, management entity), Lesley Bunim (10 shared filings), Marcello Pantuliano (10 shared filings), Andrew Cohen (1 shared filing), Brian N. Cherry (1 shared filing) and 8 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.

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group J H Whitney (11 issuers, $1.04B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. J H Whitney has 11 companies on file and $1.04B 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) — 3 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 records came back, including 1 court case 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 12 public filings for John Hockin and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 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

6 differences found between the filings for John Hockin — 1 worth asking about (compared 12 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 21, 2024 – Nov 21, 2025

Investor count went down between filings — Sea Cliff Offshore Fund, LP

The Nov 21, 2024 filing reports 35 investors; the Nov 21, 2025 Form D/A reports 26 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.

Sources
Note · Nov 1, 2021 – Nov 23, 2021

Form D filed 22 days after the first sale — Sea Cliff Offshore Fund, LP

The filing says the first sale was Nov 1, 2021. The Form D was filed Nov 23, 2021 — 22 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 7 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 · Jun 16, 2009 – Jul 6, 2009

Form D filed 20 days after the first sale — Human Touch, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 16, 2009. The Form D was filed Jul 6, 2009 — 20 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 5 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 · Jun 16, 2009 – Jul 6, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Human Touch, LLC (latest filing Jul 6, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 6, 2009 (first sale Jun 16, 2009). It reports $18,857,069 sold of $20,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Mar 12, 2009 – Mar 16, 2010

Same name, different state: "John C. Hockin" (CT) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "John C. Hockin" with address state CT, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by WHITNEY GREEN RIVER FUND, L.P. (Mar 16, 2010). Both records have filings in the same period (Jul 6, 2009 to Mar 16, 2010).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Sep 16, 2025 – Sep 16, 2026

Address moved from San Francisco, CA to Glen Ellen, CA — Sea Cliff Partners, LP

The people listed on the Sep 16, 2025 filing give San Francisco, CA; on the Sep 16, 2026 filing they give Glen Ellen, 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.

Sources
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

"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).
