The short version

Paul Grim is listed as a director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2010 and Jul 2014: Zipit Wireless Inc (Greenville, SC — other technology — 2010–2014; $3.37M reported sold to 10 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 Frank Greer (5 shared filings), Ralph Heredia (5 shared filings), Steve Karlson (5 shared filings), Jack Plating (3 shared filings), E. L. Mont (2 shared filings) and 1 others.

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.

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) — 1 court case matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 5 public filings for Paul Grim and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: E.L. Mont; 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 Grim — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 1, 2010

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: E.L. Mont — Zipit Wireless Inc

E.L. Mont is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Mar 1, 2010) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Note · Feb 15, 2010 – Jul 29, 2014

5 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 — Zipit Wireless Inc (latest filing Jul 29, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Zipit Wireless Inc (latest filing Jun 12, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Zipit Wireless Inc (latest filing Dec 2, 2011) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Zipit Wireless Inc (latest filing Nov 18, 2010) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Zipit Wireless Inc (latest filing Mar 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.

Sources
Note · Mar 1, 2010 – Nov 18, 2010

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Zipit Wireless Inc

"$1 - $1,000,000" (Mar 1, 2010); then "Decline to Disclose" (Nov 18, 2010).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
Note · Oct 7, 2010 – Sep 29, 2021

Same name, different state: "Paul Grim" (OH) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is SC. A separate record, "Paul Grim" with address state OH, is listed on 6 filings — most recently by SunBridge Partners JJV Fund II, L.P. (Sep 29, 2021). Both records have filings in the same period (Oct 7, 2010 to Jul 29, 2014).

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.

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

0 of 5 offerings report sales commissions; 1 reports finder's fees totalling $85,000; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $45,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
