The short version

John Perkins is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer in Jun 2021: Upward Enterprises Inc. (Brooklyn, NY — industry reported as "Other" — 2021; $121.7M reported sold to 42 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jun 2021. 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 Ben Silverman (2 shared filings), Jason Green (2 shared filings), Johnny Bowman (2 shared filings), Lina Jun (2 shared filings), Suzanne Fletcher (2 shared filings) and 1 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 15 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 15 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 2 public filings for John Perkins and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 94 days after the first sale; Form D filed 560 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

8 differences found between the filings for John Perkins — 2 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 23, 2021 – Jun 25, 2021

Form D filed 94 days after the first sale — Upward Enterprises Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 23, 2021. The Form D was filed Jun 25, 2021 — 94 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 79 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
Worth asking · Dec 13, 2019 – Jun 25, 2021

Form D filed 560 days after the first sale — Upward Enterprises Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 13, 2019. The Form D was filed Jun 25, 2021 — 560 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 545 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Mar 23, 2021 – Jun 25, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Upward Enterprises Inc. (latest filing Jun 25, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 25, 2021 (first sale Mar 23, 2021). It reports $121,668,565 sold of $133,749,090 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.
