The short version

Paul A. Howard is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Apr 2010 and Feb 2012: Mediphase Venture Partners II (Select Fund) Limited Partnership (Newton, MA — pooled investment fund — 2010; $1.8M reported sold to 10 investors) and MEDIPHASE VENTURE PARTNERS ANNEX FUND LP (Newton, MA — pooled investment fund — 2012; $349K reported sold to 15 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and promoter, over about 2 years. Across those companies the filings report $2.15M sold in total.

Listed alongside Lawrence G. Miller (2 shared filings), David Lubner (1 shared filing), Mediphase (Annex Fund) LLC (1 shared filing, management entity), Mediphase II (Select Fund) LLC (1 shared filing, management entity) and Mediphase Management Company LLC (1 shared filing, management entity).

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Mediphase Venture (2 issuers, $2.15M reported sold, 2010–2012).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Mediphase Venture has 2 companies on file and $2.15M 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) — 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 Paul A. Howard and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 75 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

4 differences found between the filings for Paul A. Howard — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 14, 2011 – Feb 27, 2012

Form D filed 75 days after the first sale — MEDIPHASE VENTURE PARTNERS ANNEX FUND LP

The filing says the first sale was Dec 14, 2011. The Form D was filed Feb 27, 2012 — 75 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 60 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 · Apr 1, 2010 – Apr 23, 2010

Form D filed 22 days after the first sale — Mediphase Venture Partners II (Select Fund) Limited Partnership

The filing says the first sale was Apr 1, 2010. The Form D was filed Apr 23, 2010 — 22 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 7 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 · Dec 14, 2011 – Feb 27, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — MEDIPHASE VENTURE PARTNERS ANNEX FUND LP (latest filing Feb 27, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 27, 2012 (first sale Dec 14, 2011). It reports $348,737 sold of $500,000 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.

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.

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.
