The short version

William Rawls is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Nov 2015 and Apr 2022: Vital Plan, Inc. (Raleigh, NC — industry reported as "Other" — 2015–2022; $1.19M reported sold to 25 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Braden Rawls (6 shared filings), Walter Clarke (4 shared filings), Charman Driver (2 shared filings) and Jim Geikie (2 shared filings).

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) — 1 court case matching the name, 13 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 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 6 public filings for William Rawls and found 12 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: William Rawls is no longer listed on the Aug 22, 2018 amendment; 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

12 differences found between the filings for William Rawls — 1 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 20, 2018 – Aug 22, 2018

William Rawls is no longer listed on the Aug 22, 2018 amendment — Vital Plan, Inc.

William Rawls appears on the Apr 20, 2018 Form D (executive officer, director) but not on the Aug 22, 2018 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Sources
Note · Oct 20, 2017 – Nov 22, 2017

Form D filed 33 days after the first sale — Vital Plan, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 20, 2017. The Form D was filed Nov 22, 2017 — 33 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 18 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.

Sources
Note · Apr 20, 2018 – Feb 14, 2022

William Rawls's role changed at Vital Plan, Inc.: executive officer, director → executive officer

The Apr 20, 2018 filing lists William Rawls as executive officer, director; the Feb 14, 2022 Form D lists executive officer.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Nov 22, 2017 – Apr 20, 2018

William Rawls's role changed at Vital Plan, Inc.: director → executive officer, director

The Nov 22, 2017 filing lists William Rawls as director; the Apr 20, 2018 Form D lists executive officer, director.

The Apr 20, 2018 filing says $800,000 offered; the Aug 22, 2018 Form D/A says $1,300,000.

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 · Nov 30, 2015 – Aug 29, 2016

Offering amount changed between filings — Vital Plan, Inc.

The Nov 30, 2015 filing says $500,000 offered; the Aug 29, 2016 Form D/A says $790,000.

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 · Mar 31, 2022 – Apr 14, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Vital Plan, Inc. (latest filing Apr 14, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 14, 2022 (first sale Mar 31, 2022). It reports $249,998 sold of $341,187 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.

William Rawls is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "William Rawls" on 4 filings (from Nov 30, 2015), and "William C. Rawls, Jr." on 2 filings (from Feb 14, 2022).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Jan 13, 2011

Same name, different state: "William Holland Rawls" (VA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NC. A separate record, "William Holland Rawls" with address state VA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Clearfield Real Estate Holdings, LLC (Jan 13, 2011). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Nov 30, 2015 to Apr 20, 2018; the other has one filing dated Jan 13, 2011.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Address moved from Cary, NC to Raleigh, NC — Vital Plan, Inc.

The people listed on the Aug 22, 2018 filing give Cary, NC; on the Feb 14, 2022 filing they give Raleigh, NC.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Note · Aug 29, 2016 – Nov 22, 2017

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.
