Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:23 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

Jon Kaiden is listed as a director on 8 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between May 2011 and May 2022: Equipifi, Inc. (Scottsdale, AZ — other technology — 2022; $31M reported sold to 21 investors), Ethology, Inc. (Scottsdale, AZ — industry reported as "Other" — 2011–2015; $1.85M reported sold to 9 investors) and Tallwave, LLC (Scottsdale, AZ — industry reported as "Other" — 2012–2015; $680K reported sold to 15 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $33.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Jeffrey M. Pruitt (7 shared filings), Stuart Larkins (4 shared filings), Michael Corak (3 shared filings), Craig Barrett (2 shared filings), David Husband (2 shared filings) and 16 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Jon. Each name links to their own page.

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Dufl (14 issuers, $56.4M reported sold, 2009–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Dufl has 14 companies on file and $56.4M 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 (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) — 1 court case matching the name, 1 SEC release 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 8 public filings for Jon Kaiden and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 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.

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:23 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

5 differences found between the filings for Jon Kaiden — 1 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Aug 24, 2010 – Sep 15, 2015

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

Form D filed 192 days after the first sale — Tallwave, LLC · Form D filed 106 days after the first sale — Ethology, Inc. · Form D filed 266 days after the first sale — Ethology, Inc. · Form D filed 34 days after the first sale — Ethology, Inc. · Form D filed 31 days after the first sale — Ethology, Inc.

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

Sources
Note · Mar 26, 2012 – Oct 7, 2015

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 — Tallwave, LLC (latest filing Oct 7, 2015) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ethology, Inc. (latest filing Sep 15, 2015) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Tallwave, LLC (latest filing Dec 30, 2013) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Tallwave, LLC (latest filing Apr 26, 2012)

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 · Apr 11, 2023

Same name, different state: "Jon Kaiden" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is AZ. A separate record, "Jon Kaiden" with address state FL, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Clearstep Inc. (Apr 11, 2023). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs May 17, 2011 to May 6, 2022; the other has one filing dated Apr 11, 2023.

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 · Nov 17, 2009 – Oct 5, 2018

Same name, different state: "Jon Kaiden" (NY or CA or MD or CO or LA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is AZ. A separate record, "Jon Kaiden" with address state NY or CA or MD or CO or LA, is listed on 27 filings — most recently by CLICK NOTICES, INC. (Jan 9, 2020). Both records have filings in the same period (May 17, 2011 to Oct 5, 2018).

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 · May 17, 2011 – Apr 26, 2012

Address moved from Phoenix, AZ to Scottsdale, AZ — Ethology, Inc.

The people listed on the May 17, 2011 filing give Phoenix, AZ; on the Apr 26, 2012 filing they give Scottsdale, AZ.

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.

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).

Registrations and other filings

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 3 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Jon Kaiden by design.
