The short version

Joseph Aronauer is listed as a director on 21 SEC Form D filings by 5 issuers between Jan 2011 and Oct 2026: BDCM Offshore Opportunity Fund VI, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2024–2026; $404.2M reported sold to 27 investors), BDCM Offshore Opportunity Fund IV, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2015; $126.5M reported sold to 9 investors), Black Diamond Credit Strategies Offshore, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2017–2026; $93.1M reported sold to 8 investors), BDCM Offshore Opportunity Fund V, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2019–2021; $56.5M reported sold to 6 investors) and BDCM Offshore Opportunity Fund III, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2011; $10M reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 5 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 15 years. Across those companies the filings report $690.3M sold in total.

Listed alongside Samuel Goldfarb (21 shared filings), Stephen H. Deckoff (20 shared filings), Black Diamond Credit Strategies Fund Adviser, L.L.C. (11 shared filings, management entity), Nitin Aggawal (11 shared filings), Robin J. Bedford (11 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 Joseph. Each name links to their own page.

All 5 issuers belong to the sponsor group Bdcm (14 issuers, $1.99B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Bdcm has 14 companies on file and $1.99B 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, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 21 public filings for Joseph Aronauer and found 11 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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.

Amount sold went down between filings — Black Diamond Credit Strategies Offshore, Ltd.

The Oct 8, 2025 filing says $93,087,427 sold; the Oct 8, 2026 Form D/A says $71,587,427 sold — $21,500,000 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Investor count went down between filings — Black Diamond Credit Strategies Offshore, Ltd.

The Oct 8, 2025 filing reports 8 investors; the Oct 8, 2026 Form D/A reports 7 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Worth asking · Dec 1, 2016 – Mar 31, 2017

Form D filed 120 days after the first sale — Black Diamond Credit Strategies Offshore, Ltd.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 1, 2016. The Form D was filed Mar 31, 2017 — 120 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 105 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.

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 this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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).

Sources

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name Joseph Aronauer.

Same business address

51 other issuers file from the same address (first 50 shown)

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

A person is never an adviser firm. 1 of the 5 issuers this person is listed on matches a Form ADV adviser (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026): Black Diamond Credit Strategies Offshore, Ltd..

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 Joseph Aronauer by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 5 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
