The short version

Simon Mainwaring is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jan 2020: VG Holdco, Inc. (Culver City, CA — restaurants — 2020; $7.5M reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jan 2020. 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 Elizabeth McLaughlin (1 shared filing), Gregory G. Dollarhyde (1 shared filing), Julianne Hummelberg (1 shared filing), Kevin Boylan (1 shared filing), RAHUL AGGARWAL (1 shared filing) and 2 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Powerplant (11 issuers, $443.3M reported sold, 2009–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Powerplant has 11 companies on file and $443.3M 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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 2 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 1 public filing for Simon Mainwaring and found 3 differences: Simon Mainwaring appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; Form D filed 35 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

3 differences found between the filings for Simon Mainwaring (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Nov 30, 2020

Simon Mainwaring appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

VG Holdco, Inc. (last filing Nov 30, 2020; $7,500,000 sold of $25,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Note · Dec 20, 2019 – Jan 24, 2020

Form D filed 35 days after the first sale — VG Holdco, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 20, 2019. The Form D was filed Jan 24, 2020 — 35 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 20 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 20, 2019 – Jan 24, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — VG Holdco, Inc. (latest filing Jan 24, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 24, 2020 (first sale Dec 20, 2019). It reports $7,500,000 sold of $12,309,567 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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
