The short version

Shannon Lyons is listed as an executive officer on 4 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between May 2017 and Aug 2017: Flashstarts Cleveland 200 Fund L.P. (Cleveland, OH — pooled investment fund — 2017; $885K reported sold to 5 investors), Flashstarts Partners Fund 2016 LP (Cleveland, OH — pooled investment fund — 2017; $700K reported sold to 12 investors) and Flashstarts Partners Fund 2015 LP (Cleveland, OH — pooled investment fund — 2017; $700K reported sold to 9 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer. Across those companies the filings report $2.29M sold in total.

Listed alongside Charles Stack (4 shared filings) and Jennifer Neundorfer (4 shared filings).

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

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Flashstarts (6 issuers, $2.94M reported sold, 2013–2019).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Flashstarts has 6 companies on file and $2.94M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 17 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases (search queued; results are added automatically).

What this means 17 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.

"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.
