The short version

Michael Goodman is listed as an executive officer on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Mar 2014 and Oct 2018: Granite Bridge Private Equity Fund, L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2018; $117.6M reported sold to 4 investors) and Wafra Private Equity Fund V, L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2014–2016; $100M reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $217.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside Eric Norfleet (4 shared filings), Peter Petrillo (4 shared filings), Ryan Wierck (4 shared filings), GP, L.P. Wafra V (3 shared filings), Granite Bridge Partners GP I, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity) and 1 others.

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Wafra (2 issuers, $217.6M reported sold, 2014–2018).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Wafra has 2 companies on file and $217.6M 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) — 1 court case matching the name, 3 SEC releases, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 4 public filings for Michael Goodman and found 8 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 70 days after the first sale; Form D filed 589 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.

4. Differences between public sources

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

8 differences found between the filings for Michael Goodman — 3 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 27, 2018 – Oct 5, 2018

Form D filed 70 days after the first sale — Granite Bridge Private Equity Fund, L.P.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 27, 2018. The Form D was filed Oct 5, 2018 — 70 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 55 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.

Worth asking · Aug 20, 2013 – Apr 1, 2015

The filing says the first sale was Aug 20, 2013. The Form D was filed Apr 1, 2015 — 589 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 574 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Note · Apr 13, 2022

Same name, different state: "Michael Goodman" (CO) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "Michael Goodman" with address state CO, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by RSDL.io, Inc. (Apr 13, 2022). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Mar 27, 2014 to Oct 5, 2018; the other has one filing dated Apr 13, 2022.

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.

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.
