The short version

Stephen Mayer is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Oct 2017 and Oct 2018: Proof Of Work Fund LP (Lynbrook, NY — pooled investment fund — 2017–2018; $959K reported sold to 14 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 Brandon Mayer (2 shared filings), Proof Of Work Capital LLC (2 shared filings, management entity), Proof Of Work GP LLC (2 shared filings, management entity), Robert Weisberg (2 shared filings) and Tim Bonansinga (2 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Stephen. 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) — 1 court case matching the name, 12 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 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 2 public filings for Stephen Mayer and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 323 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 Stephen Mayer — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 15, 2017 – Oct 4, 2018

Form D filed 323 days after the first sale — Proof Of Work Fund LP

The filing says the first sale was Nov 15, 2017. The Form D was filed Oct 4, 2018 — 323 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 308 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Form D · Oct 4, 2018 ↗Proof Of Work Fund LP — PartnerFacts page ↗

Sources

Form D · Oct 4, 2018 ↗ (Oct 4, 2018)
Proof Of Work Fund LP — PartnerFacts page ↗ (Oct 4, 2018)

Note · Nov 15, 2017 – Oct 4, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Proof Of Work Fund LP (latest filing Oct 4, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 4, 2018 (first sale Nov 15, 2017). It reports $958,826 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.

Note · Oct 5, 2018 – Dec 31, 2025

Same name, different state: "Stephen David Mayer" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "Stephen David Mayer" with address state CA, is listed on 8 filings — most recently by 3G Fund 13, LLC (Dec 31, 2025). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Oct 10, 2017 to Oct 4, 2018; the other runs Oct 5, 2018 to Dec 31, 2025.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.

"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.
