The short version

John Shaw is listed as an executive officer and director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2014 and Apr 2026: Stoke Space Technologies, Inc. (Kent, WA — other technology — 2025–2026; $410M reported sold to 68 investors) and Boldstar Woodcreek, LLC (Issaquah, WA — other real estate — 2014; $1M reported sold to 11 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 12 years. Across those companies the filings report $411M sold in total.

Listed alongside Andrew Lapsa (4 shared filings), Christian Garcia (4 shared filings), Phil Harris (4 shared filings), Thomas Feldman (4 shared filings), Kelly Hennig (3 shared filings) and 8 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) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 5 public filings for John Shaw and found 8 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 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 Shaw — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Sep 15, 2023 – Apr 16, 2026

4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 69 days after the first sale — Stoke Space Technologies, Inc. · Form D filed 496 days after the first sale — Stoke Space Technologies, Inc. · Form D filed 44 days after the first sale — Stoke Space Technologies, Inc. · Form D filed 45 days after the first sale — Stoke Space Technologies, Inc.

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.
