The short version

Jon Trauben is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2018 and May 2019: Eyechronic LLC (Bowling Green, KY — industry reported as "Other" — 2018–2019; $1M reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Colby McKenzie (2 shared filings), Jeremy Jacobs (2 shared filings), Al Foreman (1 shared filing), Alain Bankier (1 shared filing), Carol Terakawa (1 shared filing) and 3 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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Eyechronic (2 issuers, $1.4M reported sold, 2016–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Eyechronic has 2 companies on file and $1.4M 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) — 4 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 Jon Trauben and found 5 differences: 4 court cases name Jon Trauben; Jon Trauben appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Jon Trauben (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 19, 2007 – Jun 16, 2011

4 court cases name Jon Trauben

By role: plaintiff in 4. Newest: "Trauben & Company, Inc. v. The Merchant of Tennis, Inc." (District Court, E.D. Michigan, Jun 16, 2011); "Trauben & Company, Inc. v. Delstar Security and Wireless Communications Corporation" (District Court, S.D. Florida, May 27, 2011); "Trauben & Company, Inc. v. Delstar Security and Wireless Communications Corporation" (District Court, E.D. Michigan, Apr 7, 2010). Some of these are name matches with a match estimate below 95% — check each docket.

What this means Several court cases name this subject. Some are routine business suits. Ask what each was about and how it ended.

Note · May 8, 2019

Jon Trauben appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Eyechronic LLC (last filing May 8, 2019; $1,000,000 sold of $6,560,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Eyechronic LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Apr 23, 2019 – May 8, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Eyechronic LLC (latest filing May 8, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 8, 2019 (first sale Apr 23, 2019). It reports $1,000,000 sold of $6,560,000 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.

Form D · May 8, 2019 ↗Eyechronic LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jan 24, 2018 – May 8, 2019

Industry group changed between filings — Eyechronic LLC

"Other Technology" (Jan 24, 2018); then "Other" (May 8, 2019).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Note · Dec 11, 2018 – Jun 29, 2022

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

This page covers filings where the address state is KY. A separate record, "Jon Trauben" with address state FL, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by SpringBig Holdings, Inc. (Jun 29, 2022). Both records have filings in the same period (Dec 11, 2018 to May 8, 2019).

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.

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.

5. Money to insiders
