The short version

John Young is listed as an executive officer on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jun 2009 and Feb 2015: Metron Holdings, Inc. (Dulles, VA — industry reported as "Other" — 2009–2010; $15.4M reported sold to 30 investors) and SurfWatch Labs, Inc. (Sterling, VA — other technology — 2015; $5.2M reported sold to 19 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $20.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside David A. Ellison (4 shared filings), Jonathan Perl (4 shared filings), Donato J. Antonucci (3 shared filings), John W. Kies (3 shared filings), Jane Garvey (1 shared filing) 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.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Redcloud (2 issuers, $7.48M reported sold, 2011–2016).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Redcloud has 2 companies on file and $7.48M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 4 public filings for John Young and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 108 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

9 differences found between the filings for John Young — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Feb 27, 2009 – Jun 15, 2009

Form D filed 108 days after the first sale — Metron Holdings, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Feb 27, 2009. The Form D was filed Jun 15, 2009 — 108 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 93 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.

Form D · Jun 15, 2009 ↗Metron Holdings, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jun 30, 2010 – Jul 16, 2010

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — Metron Holdings, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 30, 2010. The Form D was filed Jul 16, 2010 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

Form D · Jul 16, 2010 ↗Metron Holdings, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jun 15, 2009

Offering amount changed between filings — Metron Holdings, Inc.

The Jun 15, 2009 filing says $56,500 offered; the Jun 15, 2009 Form D says $18,497,723.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Form D (earlier) · Jun 15, 2009 ↗Form D (later) · Jun 15, 2009 ↗Metron Holdings, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Feb 27, 2009 – Jun 15, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Metron Holdings, Inc. (latest filing Jun 15, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 15, 2009 (first sale Feb 27, 2009). It reports $15,377,094 sold of $18,497,723 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.
