The short version

John Larson is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in May 2019: 2U, Inc. (Lanham, MD — other technology — 2019; $324M reported sold to 36 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed May 2019. 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 Alexis Maybank (1 shared filing), Catherine A. Graham (1 shared filing), Christopher Paucek (1 shared filing), Coretha Rushing (1 shared filing), Earl Lewis (1 shared filing) and 12 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.

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) — 3 SEC releases, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 Larson and found 6 differences: Bankruptcy case: Mark A Chernis and Holle R Chernis; Same name, different state: "John E. Larson" (A1) 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.
