The short version

Porter Bennett is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jul 2015 and Mar 2018: Drilling Info Holdings, Inc. (Austin, TX — other technology — 2017–2018; $166.2M reported sold to 20 investors) and Fairway Energy Partners, LLC (Houston, TX — oil and gas — 2015; $51.2M reported sold to 29 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $217.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Alicia Recupero (2 shared filings), Allen Gilmer (2 shared filings), Corey Rhoden (2 shared filings), David L. Piazza (2 shared filings), Deven Parekh (2 shared filings) and 22 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 3 public filings for Porter Bennett and found 1 difference: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open.

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

1 difference found between the filings for Porter Bennett (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 9, 2015 – Mar 22, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Drilling Info Holdings, Inc. (latest filing Mar 22, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 22, 2018 (first sale Feb 9, 2015). It reports $22,964,084 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

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.

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).
