The short version

William McGowan is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Apr 2009 and Jan 2024: AccuMED Innovative Technologies Inc. (Buffalo, NY — manufacturing — 2009; $2.5M reported sold to 5 investors), Next Level Restaurant Brands, LLC (Westerville, OH — restaurants — 2024; $2.47M reported sold to 2 investors) and American Pipe & Plastics Merger Corp. (Kirkwood, NY — manufacturing — 2011; $500K reported sold to 7 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 15 years. Across those companies the filings report $5.47M sold in total.

Listed alongside Brian Flynn (1 shared filing), Cecelia N Cranmer (1 shared filing), Christopher O'Donnell (1 shared filing), Donald A. Reninger (1 shared filing), Gary Goldberg (1 shared filing) and 7 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 47 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 47 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 3 public filings for William McGowan and found 1 difference, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 83 days after the first sale.

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.

Worth asking · May 25, 2011 – Aug 16, 2011

Form D filed 83 days after the first sale — American Pipe & Plastics Merger Corp.

The filing says the first sale was May 25, 2011. The Form D was filed Aug 16, 2011 — 83 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 68 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.

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).
