The short version

John Slump is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 13 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jun 2014 and Jul 2026: Atraverse Medical, Inc. (Cardiff By The Sea, CA — other health care — 2023–2025; $15M reported sold to 41 investors), Farapulse, Inc. (Menlo Park, CA — biotechnology — 2014–2015; $15M reported sold to 35 investors) and 5th Medical, Inc. (Chicago, IL — other health care — 2026; $6.01M reported sold to 47 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 12 years. Across those companies the filings report $36M sold in total.

Listed alongside Steven Richard Mickelsen (12 shared filings), Allan Zingeler (6 shared filings), Craig P. Colmar (6 shared filings), Eric Sauter (6 shared filings), Howard Dittrich (6 shared filings) and 3 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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 13 public filings for John Slump and found 11 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 9 filings report more than 10% of the money raised going to insiders; 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

11 differences found between the filings for John Slump — 1 worth asking about (compared 13 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 9, 2014 – Aug 13, 2024

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Sources
Note · May 30, 2014 – May 7, 2025

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Atraverse Medical, Inc. (latest filing May 7, 2025) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Atraverse Medical, Inc. (latest filing Aug 13, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Atraverse Medical, Inc. (latest filing Nov 2, 2023) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Farapulse, Inc. (latest filing Oct 13, 2015)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Aug 13, 2024 – Feb 26, 2025

John Slump's role changed at Atraverse Medical, Inc.: executive officer, director → executive officer, director, promoter

The Aug 13, 2024 filing lists John Slump as executive officer, director; the Feb 26, 2025 Form D lists executive officer, director, promoter.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Jul 10, 2014 – Oct 13, 2015

4 offerings changed their target amount between filings

Offering amount changed between filings — Farapulse, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — Farapulse, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — Farapulse, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — Farapulse, Inc.

What this means Targets change as deals grow or shrink. Ask whether later money has the same terms.

Sources
Note · Feb 23, 2015 – Oct 13, 2015

Minimum investment changed between filings — Farapulse, Inc.

The Feb 23, 2015 filing lists a minimum of $50,000; the Oct 13, 2015 Form D/A lists $100,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

Sources
Note · Jun 9, 2014 – Jul 20, 2026

John Slump is written 3 different ways on the filings

listed as "John Slump" on 6 filings (from Jun 9, 2014), and "John R Slump" on 6 filings (from Feb 16, 2023), and "John Richard Slump" on the Jul 20, 2026 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Feb 16, 2023 – Feb 26, 2025

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Atraverse Medical, Inc.

"No Revenues" (Feb 16, 2023); then "Decline to Disclose" (Feb 26, 2025).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Note · Jun 23, 2020 – Apr 14, 2025

Same name, different state: "John Slump" (IL or CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is IA or IL or CA. A separate record, "John Slump" with address state IL or CA, is listed on 6 filings — most recently by StimCardio Medical, Inc. (Jul 29, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jun 9, 2014 to Oct 13, 2015; the other runs Jun 23, 2020 to Apr 14, 2025.

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
Note · Jan 19, 2010 – Feb 14, 2018

Same name, different state: "JOHN R. SLUMP" (IA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is IA or IL or CA. A separate record, "JOHN R. SLUMP" with address state IA, is listed on 7 filings — most recently by CORVIDA MEDICAL, INC. (Feb 14, 2018). Both records have filings in the same period (Jun 9, 2014 to Oct 13, 2015).

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 · Aug 13, 2024 – Feb 26, 2025

Address moved from Chicago, IL to Cardiff By The Sea, CA — Atraverse Medical, Inc.

The people listed on the Aug 13, 2024 filing give Chicago, IL; on the Feb 26, 2025 filing they give Cardiff By The Sea, 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
Note · Jun 9, 2014 – Jul 20, 2026

John Slump is listed with 3 different address states: IA, IL, CA

IA on 6 filings (Jun 9, 2014 to Oct 13, 2015); IL on 5 filings (Feb 16, 2023 to Jul 20, 2026); CA on 2 filings (Feb 26, 2025 to May 7, 2025).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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.

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).
