The short version

William O'Brien is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Dec 2009 and Jul 2021: INNOVATIONS MANAGEMENT, LLLP (Scottsdale, AZ — industry reported as "Other" — 2009; $5M reported sold to 1 investors), Cooper's Corner, LP (Shreveport, LA — commercial — 2021; $593K reported sold to 8 investors) and Cooper's Corner QOF, LP (Shreveport, LA — commercial — 2021; $350K reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 12 years. Across those companies the filings report $5.94M sold in total.

Listed alongside DAVID GUARINO (1 shared filing), IV, LLC La Strada Investments (1 shared filing), Kevin Blackwell (1 shared filing), Lake Management, (1 shared filing, management entity) and Walter Schultz (1 shared filing).

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.

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Cooper (2 issuers, $943K reported sold, 2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Cooper has 2 companies on file and $943K 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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 3 public filings for William O'Brien and found 10 differences: Form D filed 21 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

10 differences found between the filings for William O'Brien (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 9, 2021 – Jul 30, 2021

Form D filed 21 days after the first sale — Cooper's Corner, LP

The filing says the first sale was Jul 9, 2021. The Form D was filed Jul 30, 2021 — 21 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 6 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.
