What this means That is a lot of deals — 12 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $1.86B sold in total.

Listed alongside Anthony Joon Yun (33 shared filings), Palo Alto Investors, LLC (33 shared filings, management entity), Mark Shamia (32 shared filings), Joon Palo Alto Investors (4 shared filings, management entity), Beth Van Ausdle (1 shared filing) and 5 others.

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.

11 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Group linked by Anthony Joon Yun (17 issuers, $2.48B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Anthony Joon Yun has 17 companies on file and $2.48B 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, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 5 court cases matching the name, 1 SEC release, 13 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 19 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 34 public filings for William L. Edwards and found 11 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: William L. Edwards appears on 4 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target; Form D filed 525 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

11 differences found between the filings for William L. Edwards — 3 worth asking about (compared 34 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 25, 1993 – Apr 30, 2024

14 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members

Bankruptcy case: Jeremy Rosenthal, as Liquidation Trustee of the WH v. Sutter Health d/b/a Palo Alto Medical Foundation — filed Nov 30, 2023 · Bankruptcy case: The Counter Palo Alto, LP — filed Jan 26, 2024 · Bankruptcy case: Palo Alto Limo, Inc. — filed Sep 5, 2023 · Bankruptcy case: AME Zion Church of Palo Alto, Inc. v. AME Zion Western Episcopal District — filed Jan 14, 2021 · Bankruptcy case: Palo Alto Auto Repais, INC — filed Jun 14, 2013 · and 9 more

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Worth asking · Mar 24, 2010 – Apr 29, 2013

William L. Edwards appears on 4 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target

PALO ALTO SPV I LP (last filing Apr 29, 2013; $40,650,000 sold of $500,000,000); PALO ALTO ENERGY FUND, L.P. (last filing Dec 14, 2011; $166,560,130 sold of $500,000,000); UBTI FREE LP (last filing Apr 18, 2011; $4,000,000 sold of $200,000,000); Palo Alto Technology Fund L P (last filing Mar 24, 2010; $27,305,000 sold of $500,000,000). 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
Worth asking · Jun 7, 2010 – Nov 14, 2011

Form D filed 525 days after the first sale — Jimmyjane, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 7, 2010. The Form D was filed Nov 14, 2011 — 525 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 510 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.

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.

How this is counted

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 12

Every issuer that named William L. Edwards on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.
