The short version

John Kempf is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Nov 2023 and Apr 2024: Advancing Eco Agriculture, Inc. (Middlefield, OH — agriculture — 2023–2024; $699K reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Paul Bergman (3 shared filings), Philippe van den Bossche (3 shared filings), Eric Girdler (2 shared filings) and Jason Hobson (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) — 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 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 3 public filings for John Kempf and found 6 differences: Form D filed 20 days after the first sale; Form D filed 24 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

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

Note · Mar 14, 2024 – Apr 3, 2024

Form D filed 20 days after the first sale — Advancing Eco Agriculture, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 14, 2024. The Form D was filed Apr 3, 2024 — 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 · Oct 9, 2023 – Nov 2, 2023

Form D filed 24 days after the first sale — Advancing Eco Agriculture, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 9, 2023. The Form D was filed Nov 2, 2023 — 24 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 9 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 · Mar 14, 2024 – Apr 3, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Advancing Eco Agriculture, Inc. (latest filing Apr 3, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 3, 2024 (first sale Mar 14, 2024). It reports $295,342 sold of $800,000 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.

Note · Oct 9, 2023 – Nov 2, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Advancing Eco Agriculture, Inc. (latest filing Nov 2, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 2, 2023 (first sale Oct 9, 2023). It reports $699,443 sold of $2,500,000 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 · Nov 2, 2023 – Jan 31, 2024

Industry group changed between filings — Advancing Eco Agriculture, Inc.

"Pooled Investment Fund" (Nov 2, 2023); then "Agriculture" (Jan 31, 2024 to Apr 3, 2024).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · May 13, 2011

Same name, different state: "JOHN S. KEMPF" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is OH. A separate record, "JOHN S. KEMPF" with address state NY, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by EYP HOLDINGS, INC. (May 13, 2011). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Nov 2, 2023 to Apr 3, 2024; the other has one filing dated May 13, 2011.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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

0 of 3 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 3 report proceeds to related persons totalling $133,000. (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).
