The short version

Joseph Pepper is listed as a director on 11 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2010 and Jan 2016: Ortho Kinematics, Inc. (Austin, TX — other health care — 2010–2016; $20.7M reported sold to 98 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 Adam Deitz (11 shared filings), Gerald L. DeVries, Jr. (11 shared filings), John Rodakis (11 shared filings), Nelson Jaeggli (9 shared filings), Paul Gunnoe (9 shared filings) and 3 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.

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 bankruptcy 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 11 public filings for Joseph Pepper and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Joseph Pepper is no longer listed on the Jul 5, 2016 amendment; 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

6 differences found between the filings for Joseph Pepper — 1 worth asking about (compared 11 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Nov 24, 2010 – Jul 17, 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 — Ortho Kinematics, Inc. (latest filing Jul 17, 2015) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ortho Kinematics, Inc. (latest filing Aug 28, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ortho Kinematics, Inc. (latest filing Apr 23, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ortho Kinematics, Inc. (latest filing Dec 1, 2010)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Worth asking · Jan 6, 2016 – Jul 5, 2016

Joseph Pepper is no longer listed on the Jul 5, 2016 amendment — Ortho Kinematics, Inc.

Joseph Pepper appears on the Jan 6, 2016 Form D/A (director) but not on the Jul 5, 2016 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

The Jan 6, 2016 filing says $4,000,000 offered; the Jul 5, 2016 Form D/A says $8,000,000.

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.

Same name, different state: "Joseph Pepper" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is TX. A separate record, "Joseph Pepper" with address state CA, is listed on 11 filings — most recently by C8 MEDISENSORS INC (Mar 8, 2012). Both records have filings in the same period (Dec 1, 2010 to Mar 8, 2012).

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.

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).

None of the 1 issuer 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.
