The short version

Steve Joanis is listed as an executive officer and director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2009 and Dec 2024: ONE Bow River National Defense Fund, LP (Colorado Springs, CO — pooled investment fund — 2024; $238.6M reported sold to 145 investors) and T3MEDIA, INC. (Denver, CO — other technology — 2009; $20M reported sold to 12 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 15 years. Across those companies the filings report $258.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside Eric M. Toler (3 shared filings), Jeffrey T. Diehl (3 shared filings), Kevin Schaff (3 shared filings), Kirk Holland (3 shared filings), Mark Lemmons (3 shared filings) and 11 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group One Bow River (2 issuers, $240.1M reported sold, 2024–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. One Bow River has 2 companies on file and $240.1M 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 bankruptcy 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 5 public filings for Steve Joanis and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Investor count went down between filings; 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

7 differences found between the filings for Steve Joanis — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Feb 26, 2009 – May 29, 2009

Investor count went down between filings — T3MEDIA, INC.

The Feb 26, 2009 filing reports 4 investors; the May 29, 2009 Form D reports 1 investor.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Note · May 29, 2009 – Jul 23, 2009

Offering amount changed between filings — T3MEDIA, INC.

The May 29, 2009 filing says $4,000,000 offered; the Jul 23, 2009 Form D/A says $7,000,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Feb 26, 2009 – May 29, 2009

Offering amount lowered between filings — T3MEDIA, INC.

The Feb 26, 2009 filing says $7,000,000 offered; the May 29, 2009 Form D says $4,000,000.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Sources
Note · Sep 6, 2024 – Dec 18, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ONE Bow River National Defense Fund, LP (latest filing Dec 18, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 18, 2024 (first sale Sep 6, 2024). It reports $238,550,000 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.

Minimum investment changed between filings — T3MEDIA, INC.

The May 29, 2009 filing lists a minimum of $4,000,000; the Jul 23, 2009 Form D/A lists $0.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

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.
