The short version

Samuel Pierce is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between May 2009 and Oct 2025: IDEALSWORK INC (Portland, ME — industry reported as "Other" — 2009–2014; $3.05M reported sold to 11 investors), Three of Strong Inc. (Portland, ME — industry reported as "Other" — 2024–2025; $1.8M reported sold to 8 investors) and Comfortable Waters, LLC (Portland, ME — manufacturing — 2019–2021; $150K reported sold to 3 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 16 years. Across those companies the filings report $5M sold in total.

Listed alongside David Bruce McConnell (4 shared filings), Adam Pener (2 shared filings), Carol Atwood (2 shared filings), Daniel Porter (2 shared filings), James Lincoln (2 shared filings) and 2 others.

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

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Comfortable (2 issuers, $1.8M reported sold, 2019–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Comfortable has 2 companies on file and $1.8M 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, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 13 court cases matching the name, 22 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 35 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 6 public filings for Samuel Pierce and found 2 differences: Form D filed 18 days after the first sale; 4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and 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.

Note · Sep 27, 2024 – Oct 15, 2024

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — Three of Strong Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Sep 27, 2024. The Form D was filed Oct 15, 2024 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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.

4 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 — Three of Strong Inc. (latest filing Oct 8, 2025) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Comfortable Waters, LLC (latest filing Mar 12, 2019) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — IDEALSWORK INC (latest filing Jan 31, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — IDEALSWORK INC (latest filing May 19, 2009)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

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).

Sources

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name Samuel Pierce.

Same business address

11 other issuers file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 3 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Property records none — individuals are not matched
