The short version

JOSH GRAY is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Sep 2019 and May 2023: BULLWHIP TOPCO, LLC (San Francisco, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2023; $175.3M reported sold to 73 investors), DEARBORN TOPCO LLC (San Francisco, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2019; $125.1M reported sold to 12 investors) and JEB TOPCO, LLC (Austin, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2022; $117.2M reported sold to 60 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $417.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside RACHEL ARNOLD (2 shared filings), ABHAY PUSKOOR (1 shared filing), JUSTIN CHO (1 shared filing), Olga Kaplan (1 shared filing), RYAN MCMORROW (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 JOSH. Each name links to their own page.

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Kirkland (15 issuers, $1.79B reported sold, 2009–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Kirkland has 15 companies on file and $1.79B 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) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name 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 3 public filings for JOSH GRAY and found 3 differences: Form D filed 40 days after the first sale; Same name, different state: "Josh Gray" (NY or MA) is a separate record; 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

3 differences found between the filings for JOSH GRAY (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 27, 2022 – Mar 8, 2022

Form D filed 40 days after the first sale — JEB TOPCO, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jan 27, 2022. The Form D was filed Mar 8, 2022 — 40 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 25 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.

Sources
Note · Sep 1, 2016 – Aug 25, 2017

Same name, different state: "Josh Gray" (NY or MA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Josh Gray" with address state NY or MA, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Unitrends Holdings Corp (Aug 25, 2017). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Sep 10, 2019 to May 11, 2023; the other runs Sep 1, 2016 to Aug 25, 2017.

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 · Mar 8, 2022

Formed in 2024 per the latest filing, but activity is dated 2022 — JEB TOPCO, LLC

The issuer's latest filing says it was formed in 2024. The Mar 8, 2022 filing says the first sale was Jan 27, 2022 — before that year.

What this means A company cannot sell before it exists, so one of the two dates is likely a typo on the form. Ask the sponsor for the formation document.

Sources
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

None reported on 3 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"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.
