The short version

William Kiesling is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Nov 2023 and Jan 2025: Global Opportunity Pennsylvania Fund II, L.P. (Philadelphia, PA — industry reported as "Other" — 2023; $27.6M reported sold to 32 investors) and Global Opportunity Pennsylvania GP II, LLC (Philadelphia, PA — industry reported as "Other" — 2025; $2M reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 2 years. Across those companies the filings report $29.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside Saniah M. Johnson (2 shared filings), Scott Nissenbaum (2 shared filings) and Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania (1 shared filing, management entity).

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Group linked by Scott Nissenbaum (3 issuers, $44.1M reported sold, 2019–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Scott Nissenbaum has 3 companies on file and $44.1M 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 (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) — 11 court cases matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 20 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 William Kiesling and found 5 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; 8 court cases name William Kiesling; 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.

William Kiesling appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Global Opportunity Pennsylvania Fund II, L.P. (last filing Nov 13, 2023; $27,575,000 sold of $100,000,000). 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.

Global Opportunity Pennsylvania Fund II, L.P. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Oct 17, 2023 – Nov 13, 2023

Form D filed 27 days after the first sale — Global Opportunity Pennsylvania Fund II, L.P.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 17, 2023. The Form D was filed Nov 13, 2023 — 27 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 12 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.

Form D · Nov 13, 2023 ↗Global Opportunity Pennsylvania Fund II, L.P. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Oct 17, 2023 – Nov 13, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Global Opportunity Pennsylvania Fund II, L.P. (latest filing Nov 13, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 13, 2023 (first sale Oct 17, 2023). It reports $27,575,000 sold of $100,000,000 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.

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.

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).

Deals 2

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 2 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.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to William Kiesling by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 2 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
