The short version

John Jacobs is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2022: tZERO Group, Inc. (Cottonwood Heights, UT — other technology — 2022; $75.9M reported sold to 1,007 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2022. 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 Alan Konevsky (1 shared filing), Chris Campbell (1 shared filing), Joel Quall (1 shared filing) and Matt Mosman (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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 court case matching the name, 4 SEC releases, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 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 Jacobs and found 7 differences: John Jacobs appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

7 differences found between the filings for John Jacobs (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 9, 2022

John Jacobs appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

tZERO Group, Inc. (last filing Mar 9, 2022; $75,905,562 sold of $250,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

tZERO Group, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Feb 22, 2022 – Mar 9, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — tZERO Group, Inc. (latest filing Mar 9, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 9, 2022 (first sale Feb 22, 2022). It reports $40,525,068 sold of $73,025,068 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.

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.
