The short version

(Midland, TX — other technology — 2022; $188K reported sold to 1 investors).

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

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) — 2 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 Abel Avellan and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Delclaux Partners SA; 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

7 differences found between the filings for Abel Avellan — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 20, 2022

Abel Avellan appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (last filing May 20, 2022; $187,500 sold of $75,750,000). 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 · Jul 11, 2018

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Delclaux Partners SA — AST & Science, LLC

Delclaux Partners SA is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Jul 11, 2018) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Note · May 6, 2022 – May 20, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (latest filing May 20, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 20, 2022 (first sale May 6, 2022). It reports $187,500 sold of $75,750,000 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 16, 2019 – Oct 31, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — AST & Science, LLC (latest filing Oct 31, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 31, 2019 (first sale Oct 16, 2019). It reports $31,000,000 sold of $50,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jul 11, 2018 – Oct 31, 2019

Abel Avellan's role changed at AST & Science, LLC: executive officer, promoter → executive officer, director, promoter

The Jul 11, 2018 filing lists Abel Avellan as executive officer, promoter; the Oct 31, 2019 Form D lists executive officer, director, promoter.

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 · Jul 11, 2018 – Oct 31, 2019

Address moved from Miami, FL to Midland, TX — AST & Science, LLC

The people listed on the Jul 11, 2018 filing give Miami, FL; on the Oct 31, 2019 filing they give Midland, TX.

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.

Sources
Note · Jul 11, 2018 – May 20, 2022

Abel Avellan is listed with 2 different address states: FL, TX

FL on 1 filing (Jul 11, 2018); TX on 2 filings (Oct 31, 2019 to May 20, 2022).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

Sources
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).

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 Abel Avellan by design.
